Hospitality
Jesus has taught us that when we welcome into our hearts our brothers and sisters, we welcome Christ Himself. It is especially important for parishioners to seek out and welcome new members and the Church of St. Peter invites everyone into the heart of the parish to feel God’s love.
Hospitality Ministries

Parish volunteers host coffee and donuts after 8:00, 9:30 and 11:00 a.m. Masses the first Sunday each month from September through May.

Funeral Dinners
St. Peter Parish offers funeral dinners to families of parishioners who die and whose funerals are celebrated here. Parishioners handle these dinners from A-Z, from set-up to tear-down and providing food. Volunteers to serve and/or to provide food a few times a year are welcome!

Greeter
Greeters arrive at the church at least 20 minutes before Mass and welcome people who are attending Mass. They may specify Sundays and Mass times when they are available to serve. Families as well as individuals may serve. This is an ideal ministry for families with children. It is also requested that greeters take up the gifts at the Mass they are serving if there is not a special occasion.

Usher
Ushers make people who are attending Mass at St. Peter feel welcome, cared for and comfortable. They greet people, assist with doors, help people find seats when the church is crowded, take up the collection, distribute bulletins, and straighten up the church after Mass. They also help if someone becomes ill. Ushers are required to do a one-time training before they begin their responsibilities. They may specify months and Mass times when they are available to serve.
