Principal's Message:
Dear St. Peter Family,
It has been a joyous week here at St. Peter with much to celebrate! As you will see in our Weekly News, we had many of our students named to Honor Roll for the second quarter. We are looking forward to welcoming our fourth graders to Honor Roll for the third and fourth quarters, as they are now eligible for honors as well! We appreciate the importance you place on academics at home, as it supports the work our teachers and students are doing here at school. Our Honor Roll seems to get more populated each quarter, which is exactly what we love to see! We also recognized some outstanding teachers and students who set outstanding examples for all of us every day. We are blessed with talented teachers and students who make St. Peter School a great place to learn, grow, and lead! Have a great weekend and stay warm, unless the weather decides to go back to 60 degrees again, and in that case enjoy the warm weather!!
St. Peter, Friend of Jesus,
PRAY FOR US!
Mrs. Kadel

St. Sebastian
St. Sebastian was born in Gaul, present-day France, to wealthy Italian parents. According to tradition, he went to Rome to serve and encourage the Christians who were being persecuted under the Roman Emperor Diocletian. To do so effectively and without suspicion, he enrolled in the Roman army as an officer. In this position, he did much to encourage the faith of the Christians in the face of brutal martyrdom, and in the process, he encouraged people to convert through his gift of healing. Once he was discovered to be a Christian, he was seized by Roman officers, tied to a tree, and shot through with arrows. He survived this and was healed by St. Irene of Rome. Being fully recovered, he returned to preach to Diocletian himself. Diocletian sentences Sebastian to death, and he was martyred. St. Sebastian is the patron of many causes, most notably of athletes, police officers, and soldiers. St. Sebastian’s feast day is January 20th.
