Dear Parishioners and Friends of St. Peter Parish–

The forty days of our Lenten fasting and observances will soon come to an end and give way to fifty days of Easter feasting! We know this journey of faith very well: the purples of Lent, briefly broken by Rose of rejoicing, give way to red-clad cries of “Hosanna!” and “Crucify Him!” and the whooshing of water washing feet and cleansing us in the multi-hued feast of Easter Triumph and the women’s cries that “He is alive!”

Finish Lent well and plan now. to prayerfully walk with one another through the days of Christ’s passion, death, and resurrection! Who will you ask to join to celebrate Easter Mass with you? We can all take a cue from our young adults who welcome warmly our visitors and invite friends, family, and peers with abandon and great success!

“Behold, now is a very acceptable time; behold, now is the day of salvation.”

Brother Philip J. Bernier, OFM Cap
