It’s that time of the year when all ministries and organizations must think about meeting dates and times for the 2025-2026 calendar year (July 2025 through June 2026). If you plan on using parish facilities for your meetings, then please complete the Facility Scheduling Form even if you have long-standing regularly scheduled meetings. The form is available on our website (www.stpeternr.org/calendar-scheduling-facilities ) and in the racks in the Church. It can be submitted to Cheryle Koberna at koberna@stpeternr.org or it can be dropped off at the parish Center. It would be much appreciated if the form is submitted by May 26, 2025. The staff will be reviewing and finalizing the calendar in June.

Confirmation takes place Tuesday, April 29, 2025. Heavenly Father, in the Old Testament, your prophets and priests would anoint the faithful with oil. Through this holy anointing you made known to them their mission on earth. On Pentecost, at the birth of the Church, you sent your Holy Spirit on the disciples. On that day, the promise you gave of your Spirit was fulfilled to the whole world. As these newly confirmed go out into the world preserve the gifts of the Spirit in their hearts. May the completion of their initiation through Confirmation help them fulfill their baptismal promises as members of the Body of Christ. Amen.
