Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA)
This is a process by which adults from other Christian faith traditions and those who have never been baptized enter the Catholic church.  The RCIA team meets with the candidates and catechumens each Sunday from September until Pentecost. The Sunday sessions provide the candidates and catechumens with an opportunity to discuss the scripture readings of the day and time for religious instruction. The Sacraments of Initiation are celebrated at the Easter Vigil. The Candidates and Catechumens depend heavily on sponsors from our parish community. 

Baptism Preparation
This program reminds parents and parents-to-be of the beauty, importance, and dignity of Baptism, which bestows the grace and blessings of God on His most precious gifts—babies.

Marriage Preparation
The married couples who volunteer for St. Peter’s Marriage Preparation have a unique opportunity to share from their personal experiences the real issues - both practical and spiritual - of living as a Catholic couple in today’s world.  The program includes meeting with the engaged couple once a week for approximately four to eight weeks. 

Marriage Encounter
A group of married couples who have been on a Marriage Encounter retreat meets on a monthly basis to enrich their marriage.  The focus is on a presentation of topics important to a marriage relationship.
