It is always heartwarming to see and feel the joy and enthusiasm that accompanies the appearance of the Giving Tree. We help children learn to think of the less fortunate, to care for someone they do not know, while expecting nothing in return. What valuable lessons are learned at a tender age. Thank you for your loving example! Starting on Saturday, November 29th and concluding on Sunday, December 14th, our Giving Tree will be available in Church.

We are thanking God for the many blessings we have received, especially through St. Peter Parish. We are encouraging an attitude of gratitude by thanking the people who have been a blessing to us. Each parishioner is encouraged to take some gratitude cards from the church and carry them with them. When a person blesses you, hand them one of these business cards that expresses our gratitude and witnesses to the gratitude we have as a parish for the last 150 years of grace through St. Peter Parish. Please take some “Gratitude” cards with you and express thanks to God and his people.
