"I am Patrick" Docudrama - March 20, after 5pm Mass
Please join us in the St. John room of the PMC for "I am Patrick," released in 2020 by CBN. Filmed entirely in Ireland and England, the docudrama tells the true story of the courageous 5th century saint who despite persecution and imprisonment, evangelized Celtic pagan Ireland. Starring John Rhys-Davies (Lord of the Rings fame) it is based on St. Patrick's Confessions. Through historical reenactments, expert interviews and St. Patrick's own writing, witness his amazing journey from slave to saint. Sponsored by the Respect Life Ministry. For more information, contact stephanierkemp@gmail.com.

Easter Lilies in Memory of Loved Ones 

St. Peter Art and Environment Ministry will offer parishioners the opportunity to purchase one or more Easter Lilies in memory of loved ones. The flowers are placed in the church and Jaeger Hall for Easter Sunday. The cost is $15 per plant. Please send checks made out to “St. Peter Church” and put “Easter Lilies” and the name of the person you wish to honor in the memo section. You can also order in the office during business hours, 8:30am-3:30pm. Orders must be received no later than Sunday, March 28.

The Salesian Sisters will welcome an additional sister this summer and to accommodate this sister, their home requires some renovation work in the basement. If you are able to donate time or resources to this project, please contact Fr. Gregory.

While not a requirement, the chapel veil is a beautiful tradition that is Biblical, reverent and reminds us that we are stepping out of the ordinary mode of life and entering into sacred time. The veil helps us to always remember in whose Real Presence we are when we approach the Blessed Sacrament…Our Lord Jesus Christ, the Bridegroom. As women, we are the symbols of the Church, and the Church is the Bride of Christ. And how do we identify the Bride? By her veil. To learn more about veiling or to receive a free chapel veil, contact Teresa Crichton (t.crichton@comcast.net)or Ashley Slack (ashnslack@gmail.com).

The 'spring' campaign of 40 Days for Life has begun outside Planned Parenthood at Centennial Blvd and Fillmore. It is easy to go out to pray on the sidewalk when it is warm and sunny. It is more difficult when the weather is stormy, windy, snowy, and cold, especially here in Colorado. Did you know MORE BABIES ARE SAVED in bad weather conditions? It's not too late to sign up. Make your Lenten commitment here.

Solemnity of St. Joseph
 On March 19, we celebrate the Solemnity of St. Joseph, husband of the Blessed Virgin Mary. This occasion is an opportunity to highlight the gift of adoption by seeking the intercession of St. Joseph, foster father of Jesus, for the many people whose lives are touched by adoption. In this Year of St. Joseph, let us pray for birth mothers and fathers who place their children for adoption, for children waiting to be adopted, for married couples pursuing an adoption and for family members welcoming children through adoption. You are invited to pray The St. Joseph Adoption Novena  in anticipation of his special feast day from March 10-18. For the Novena prayers, click here. 

Returning God's Gifts
Your donations will help our parish as well as the many diocesan ministries including the Respect Life Ministry, Prison Ministry, Seminarian Formation, Training of Catechists, Young Adult Ministry and Campus Ministry. Our parish goal is 100% participation and $147,366. As of March 2, our parish has pledged $82,068.73. Click here to make an online donation. Thank you for your generosity.

Born on November 12, 1917, on the homestead outside of Edgar, Montana, Earl recently celebrated his 103rd birthday. Just before he turned 20, he joined the Knights of Columbus in October of 1937. As an active Honorary Life Member of the Knights of Columbus in St Peter Council 11514, he helped with spaghetti dinners and pancake breakfasts well into his 80s. 

Earl served in the United States Army Air Corps during World War II. Earl is from Billings, Montana, and named his aircraft (it could be done in those days) the Billings Belle. He flew the P-47 and P-51 in combat, was shot down by a German Messerschmitt BF-109, jumped out of the aircraft and hit the tail, but when the parachute opened, the jolt knocked him unconscious. He was near friendly lines and was found by some US troops. Later on he was able to shoot down a Focke-Wulf FW 190, but his wingman saw the pilot escape. Earl flew some of our first jets, but not in combat. He also served as a flight instructor during the Korean War and flew one last reconnaissance mission in a T-6 trainer. Until he was 85, he would get on his Honda motorcycle and ride around the area. When he was 77, he rode his motorcycle up to Montana to visit his mother who passed away a few years later at nearly 103 years old. 

Earl was the devoted caregiver for his wife Rosanna, who had Parkinson’s disease, until she passed away seven days after his mother. He attended daily Mass until about three years ago. Often after Mass he could be seen enjoying a leisurely breakfast at Monument’s Coffee Cup Restaurant. Earl currently resides at Jackson Creek Senior Living Center in Monument, CO.
