Community Ministries

Experience our community

Athletic Association - The association promotes all organized youth sports activities.  It arranges for officials, fields, CYC liaison, uniforms, scheduling and coaching.    

Catholic Grandparents Association - The Catholic Grandparent Association is an international group, founded in Ireland, with the mission to encourage and assist grandparents to pass on the Catholic faith and to keep prayer at the heart of the family. Our chapter at St. Peter provides enrichment, inspiration, support & fun for grandparents of our parish and beyond. We gather monthly to focus on our holy vocation of grandparenting, along with its blessings and challenges!  

Fish Fry - Parishioners join together as volunteers in a spirit of Stewardship to the entire parish to conduct a Fish Fry on Fridays (except Good Friday) during the season of Lent.  Positions include cooks, servers, dessert and beverage attendants, dining room attendants, and dishwashers. 

St. Peterfest - St. Peterfest is one of our parish’s largest and most anticipated celebrations.  St. Peterfest is a homecoming which includes games, rides, musical entertainment, food booths and a grand prize raffle.  Because of the scope of St. Peterfest, many parish volunteers are needed to help - from those who serve on planning committees to those who volunteer to staff a booth or to pitch in setting up or cleaning up the festival grounds

50 Plus Club - The purpose of this club is to bring members together for friendship, social activities, education, spirituality, service, entertainment, cultural enrichment, and travel.  Whenever possible, we assist in parish activities, such as St. Peterfest.
           
Quilters - These volunteers meet every Tuesday morning from 9:00AM -12:00 Noon, and every Thursday from 9:00AM - 2:30PM in the lower level of the rectory to share friendship and quilting.  They also assemble incomplete quilt tops.  New-comers are welcome to join this congenial group. 
           
Young Families - St. Peter is a vibrant parish, home to many couples with young children under school age.  For those of us who often populate the back third of church on Sunday, finding a true community with our peers can be challenging without school activities to bring us together.

Knights of Columbus - (Kirkwood Council 2117) - The Knights of Columbus are a Catholic, family, fraternal organization.  Knights are Catholic men, 18 years of age and older, who are committed to making their community a better place to live.  Being a Knight is more than camaraderie.  It is being involved in our community, it is supporting our Church, which enhances our own faith, it is about protecting and enhancing family values. 

Welcoming Committee - This committee establishes a connection between new parishioners and established members. The committee members provide information, resources and direction on how to get involved, parish ministries and services as well as education. This committee is a great way to get to know new people and connect them to ministries and services within St. Peter. 
           
Wellness Council - The St. Peter Wellness Council inspires healthy living by hosting monthly Wellness Chats which include a variety of speakers and topics to help educate and empower the guests to make simple changes for improved health and wellness.
