Just two weeks to go before the 36th Annual LIfe Network Walk for Life. It's not too late to join the Catholics4LifeNetwork diocesan team and show your support for moms and babies in the Pikes Peak area. Last year our diocesan team raised $94,714 and came in first place! Every $150 raised for Life Network will provide FREE support services for three clients and their little ones. Pick up a pledge sheet and fundraising tips at the Walk for Life table in the gathering area next weekend. Our goal is 30 fundraising walkers from St. Peter. Make a secure online donation to Father Gregory's FundEasy page here. Every little bit helps.
Contact Stephanie Kemp (stephanierkemp@gmail.com or 719-481-4355) for more details. Watch the 2023 Walk for Life video here.

JOY International Meeting - Wednesday, May 24, 7pm
Update on Teen Trafficking, Sarah's Home and Daniel Academy
Sarah’s Home's provides a local sanctuary for teenage girls who are survivors of sex trafficking, where they can reclaim the life God created them to live. In 2018, Vicki Proffit, the Executive Director of Sarah’s Home, began hearing about the staggering number of boys being trafficked in the United States. God began laying it on her heart to open a home for sex-trafficked boys. Please join us in the PMC to learn from Vicki about the issue of teen sex trafficking, Sarah's Home, and the efforts to build a desperately needed home for sex-trafficked boys, Daniel Academy.

Diocesan Ministry Appeal
Please help us strengthen the faith of our parish community with your support of our Diocesan Ministry Appeal. Faith is usually not easy. God asks us to always believe in Him, especially when it’s hard. The disciples in this weekend's Gospel found it hard to believe Jesus even after seeing him risen from the dead. Today, we ask for the Holy Spirit to give our Annual Appeal what it needs to succeed, just as Christ gave the Holy Spirit to increase the faith of his disciples where it was lacking. We believe that together, we will reach new heights with your support and His Holy Spirit working together!
