Liturgy
This committee is the most important of all the committees in the parish because the primary purpose of our Church is the worship of God the Father, the Son and Holy Spirit. This committee's purpose is to guide and direct the liturgical life of the parish. It directs all the training of the Mass ministries. It also helps with the planning of all the Holy days, holidays and liturgical seasons of the church year. The committee works closely with the Pastor to enrich liturgy and services and to plan retreats and days of renewal.
Parish Life
The committee is in charge of planning and implementing parish functions to bring the family of St. Peter's together-both spiritually and socially. Activities include the parish picnic, Octoberfest decorating, Christmas caroling, St. Patrick's Day party, Lenten soup suppers, Summerfest and various other social activities throughout the year. The committee also acts as the welcoming part of the parish to new members of Saint Peter's. In addition to extending a welcome to these new members, special invitations are sent out inviting them to attend various Parish Life functions.
Building and Grounds Committee
The primary purpose of this committee is to maintain the parish facilities and grounds. The committee will assess the needs of each building and of the grounds of the parish, and help with any projects that are undertaken regarding these facilities.
