The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops in their recent statement,
Renewing Our Commitment to Catholic Elementary and Secondary School
in the Third Millennium, emphasize their continuing support of Catholic
schools and said: “. . . the time has come to revisit and reaffirm our
commitment to Catholic elementary and secondary schools as invaluable
instruments in proclaiming the Good News from one generation to the next.
We are convinced that Catholic schools continue to be ‘the most effective
means available to the Church for the education of children and young
people who are the future of the Church (To Teach As Jesus Did, no. 118).”

When you or someone you care about is suffering
from the loss of a loved one, the process of grieving
is a natural part of healing. Grief, however natural,
can be intense and experienced in very individual
ways. It is sometimes hard to know, “Is what I’m
going through ‘normal’ or natural?” The Seasons of
Hope Adult Bereavement Support Group at St.
Peter the Apostle offers a safe and understanding
environment for those whose loved one has died.
This program, rooted in Catholic tradition, conveys
God’s consolation through scripture, prayer,
reflection and sharing our faith. Each Seasons of
Hope session is offered for six consecutive weeks
and group members may continue in additional
sessions as needed. The program is open to
anyone over the age of 18 who has experienced the
death of a loved one. The dates for the next
sessions are:

Message from Father Norm:
The spiritual and corporal needs of many are greater this year due to the pandemic. Our parish has
been blessed in having this yearly appeal provide training for our own Deacon Marty Lee and Del
Eulberg, who will be ordained in June. So many other individuals benefit from your generosity each
year, especially through pastoral training and formation.
We are part of an Archdiocesan and Universal Church and are called to do our part. This Appeal is
one way we can directly assist with our Archdiocese in its rapid growth. Please be generous. Thank
you!
Your donations help many ministries, such as Youth
Ministry, Campus Ministries, Train Catechists, Priest’s
Retirement Home, Catholic Radio and TV, Seminarian
Support, Catholic Schools, Services for the Elderly,
Visit the Sick, Training Deacons and Pro-Life
