Message from the Bishop Bishop Hicks has lifted the dispensation from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass starting on Palm Sunday, April 10. Of course, if individuals are ill or contagious to others, Canon law allows them to decide for themselves if they should attend Mass. Click here to read his entire letter.

Saints Peter and Paul will continue to livestream the 10:30 am Sunday Mass on our YouTube channel, and will continue to maintain a designated special seating area (the first few pews on the St. Joseph side of the sanctuary) for those who wish to maintain social distancing and mask-wearing precautions.

Special Consecration Service Saints Peter and Paul will host a prayer service tomorrow that will include Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament with Rosary, personal consecration, and livestream from St. Peter's Square of Pope Francis' Consecration of Russia and Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Join us in the sanctuary or livestream the service. Click to watch

DID YOU KNOW? Reverend Augustin Wenker--a devoted pastor of the parish for 33 years--died in 1911, two months after a fire destroyed Carolus Hall, the parish school he built in 1892. Local businesses and public schools closed to honor him on the day of his funeral, and the school moved to a rented space until it was rebuilt. Under Pastor Bernard Schuette, the school reopened in 1912 with the addition of four more classrooms. The parish named the new building Wenker Hall, in loving memory of Pastor Wenker.  Today Wenker Hall serves as the elementary school building at Saints Peter and Paul School.
