What ministries are you involved in?
Presently involved in the ACTS Core Team, Eucharistic Ministry, Prayer Groups, and Bible Study, as well as many other ministries and organizations in the past

Why did you choose to support the campaign?
For over 50 years, St. Peter Parish has been our home. Our sons and grandchildren have been baptized here. It has been a place for weddings, funerals, and many sacraments. It’s where we have grown closer to God and met and loved many friends.

We support this campaign because we so appreciate the parishioners who came before us to create the parish we have today. We want to be good stewards now for all of the people who will come after us, hopefully experiencing just as vibrant a parish as it is today.
