You did it again, St. Peter Family! You brought in over 10,450 pounds of food and won the Food Fight Against Hunger. Combined with the 5,812 pounds that IC, St. Francis Xavier, and St. Joseph collected, this was the largest food drive of all time for the Samaritan Center. The love and support you have shown is AWESOME, and I think
Saint Mother Teresa would be pleased!
We definitely did
a small thing with great love!
The Student Council thanks you for all your time, money, and participation in Popémon Go, and the students earned a DRESS DOWN WEEK for OCTOBER 17-21.

Soon our Church calendar will turn to November 2, the Feast of All Souls. On this day and throughout November, we will remember loved ones now separated from us by death. We will pray for their everlasting happiness with God and express our hope for reunion with them. This is the promise of our faith.
The children of St. Peter Interparish School invite you to list the names of your departed loved ones on the form below so that they can remember them in their prayers during the month of November. It is our hope that the response to this letter will be great enough that each school child will have at least 5 persons to pray for at that Mass and throughout the month of November.

From its earliest beginnings, the Church has held Mary, the mother of Jesus, in great esteem. She is called the Mother of God, Mother of the Church, and our own Blessed Mother. Catholics can show their devotion to Mary by inviting her to pray with and for them. One way of doing this is by using the rosary and thinking about the events in her life and the life of her son.
Take some time to pray the Rosary with your family this month. There are many ways you can do this, in the car or at bedtime. You can find apps, videos on You Tube, or CDs.
