Principal's Message:
Dear St. Peter Family,
We are working hard this quarter and gearing up for Lent. Next week, we will celebrate the feast of St. Valentine on Tuesday! Students may wear a red or pink top with their uniform pants or shorts. Next week is also National Kindness Week, so we will continue to encourage random acts of kindness! Mrs. Sickels, our junior high Religion teacher, has challenged the whole school to practice random acts of kindness all month long! She puts a new suggestion on her bulletin board each morning. This will lead us into the season of Lent, where we will be focused on Jesus' love for all people...those who were sick, those who had committed terrible sins, and those who were simply unpopular and unliked. Jesus always chose love first, and that is exactly what we need to model in our school. Don't forget, next week is a four-day week with no school on Friday. Have a great weekend, and enjoy the Super Bowl!
St. Peter, Friend of Jesus,
PRAY FOR US!
Mrs. Kadel

We are recruiting new altar servers! Altar serving is a beautiful opportunity for young people to actively participate in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. More than helping the Priest at the altar, altar servers are brought closer to the mystery of the Eucharist and help the faithful to pray.
New servers must be enrolled in 4th grade through high school, be a practicing Catholic, and have received their First Holy Communion. If you are already an altar server, please register again so that we can have the most updated list of altar servers. Please use the QR Code to register.

 | St. Josephine Bakhita was born into a wealthy Sudanese family near Darfur. She was kidnapped when she was nine years old and forced into slavery. Her kidnappers named her Bakhita (“fortunate” in Arabic). She was sold and resold and beaten and tortured by her "owners" until 1883 when she was purchased by an Italian consul who treated her well. He brought her to Italy to work as a nanny. In 1889, the Italian courts ruled that Bakhita was enslaved illegally and declared her a free woman. She became enamored with the Catholic faith and chose to stay in Italy. Bakhita was baptized in 1890 and received her First Holy Communion from the future Pope St. Pius X. She took the Christian name of Josephine and in 1896 entered the Institute of Canossian Daughters of Charity. She was affectionately called "Our Black Mother" by the Italians, as her amiable spirit and warm heart won the admiration of many people during her fifty years of religious life. She was known for her charity toward children and the poor, her indomitable spirit during the hardship of slavery, and her joy in religious life. St. Josephine Bakhita is the patron of Sudan, and her feast day, February 8th, has been designated the International Day of Prayer to Stop Human Trafficking. | Congratulations to fifth grader, Aubrey Hogsten! Aubrey began training with Dayton Functional Fitness last summer and fell in love with cross fit. She completed in the DECA Strong kids race over the weekend. In this event, athletes compete in ten different stations and are timed from start to finish. Times are then compared and ranked with everyone worldwide. Aubrey not only finished the race, but she finished #1 WORLDWIDE! Way to go, Aubrey! | Congratulations to our third grade team on winning the league championship! Our girls were coached by Ms. Ericka Denney and had a great season. Thank you for representing St. Peter so well! | It was Fun Friday in Mrs. Kozma's Kindergarten class today! Students were practicing writing in shaving cream. | |
