Help Us Celebrate 10 Years of Music & Giving Back!
The One Star Christmas Concert performance team is thrilled to celebrate a special milestone—our 10th concert on Friday, December 12, 2025!
To mark this unforgettable occasion, we’ve been offered a unique and generous gift: acclaimed composer Lynn Hutchinson has agreed to write an original piece just for this year’s concert to benefit Tri-Lakes Cares.
Ms. Hutchinson has offered to compose the piece for a reduced commission of $800. Thanks to a generous donor who has already pledged $200, we’re now seeking $600 from our community to fully fund this special project.
If you’d like to contribute any amount toward this meaningful collaboration,
please contact:
Theresa Phillips, trilakesviolin@gmail.com

Note: Checks may be written to St. Peter Catholic Church with Christmas Concert song noted below on your check.
Your support will help us continue spreading joy through music while making a real difference in the lives of others.
Thank you for being a part of our 10th concert celebration and for supporting music with a mission!
Walk for Life 2025
Thanks to all who came out on our glorious, blue sky Saturday morning to Celebrate Life.
We were surprised by Father Gregory who came to give us a blessing before he had to head down to the ordination at the Cathedral. We were also blessed to have Fr. Jacob join us on the Santa Fe Trail and give us a special blessing right before we began the two-mile Walk.
Thanks to all (named and anonymous) supporters who helped Father Gregory surpass his fundraising goal this year. As of this writing, Father is in third place for individual fundraisers with $16,711.36 collected for the life-affirming work of Life Network. Our wonderful parish team of additional fundraisers has raised altogether over $31,000 in donations.
The diocesan team "Catholics 4 Life Network" is still holding first place with over $76,000 in donations. What an amazing response this year from our Catholic community!
Life Network will keep the fundraising page open for a week after the Walk. If you are still interested in making a contribution, don't delay. Donate at Father Gregory's Fund Easy page: https://page.fundeasy.com/7237132.
God bless each of you for your prayers and faithful support of Life Network. You are helping this amazing apostolate save babies and transform lives all across the Front Range!

Totals for individuals and our parish team are not yet available. As of this writing, it looks like the Diocesan Team - "Catholics4LifeNetwork" is still holding first place.

Tapping into Theology - Tuesday, July 8, 7pm
Join us in the PMC where Mike White will present, "The Essential Holy Spirit Toolbox". God gives every confirmed Catholic Seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit. Many can list them, but far fewer can describe them or recognize their attributes. They’re given to us by God for a reason. Therefore, each of us is personally obliged to fulfill and engage our Spiritual Gifts! Have you? Most of us still haven’t figured out which Gift of the Spirit is most evident in ourselves - even after many years of adult life. Mike is going to explore the Seven Gifts and explain how they differ from Charisms. But most importantly, he is going to show you how to discern, recognize, and engage your specific primary Gift of the Holy Spirit, because it's never too late! By invoking the Gifts of the Spirit, come to learn how to unlock the holy potential, God Himself, has uniquely purposed for YOU. For more information and to RSVP, contact Stephanie Kemp (stephanierkemp@gmail.com or 719-481-4355).
Host Families Needed for International Exchange Students
Borderless Friends, a non-profit dedicated to promoting world peace through cultivating opportunities for cultural and educational exchanges, is seeking American host families so that students can experience a year in the US and attend public high school. There are a number of Catholic students who would benefit from being in a Catholic home. Here is the link to see available students:
https://borderlessfriends.org/remaining-students-2025/. Volunteer host families provide three meals a day, a bedroom (can be shared), transportation (student can take bus at their expense) and a loving home for them. Students come with their own medical insurance, cell phone and spending money. For more information, contact Amy Welch (awilch@borderlessfriends.org).
Diocesan Ministry Appeal (DMA)
Let us pray for the strength to unlock the doors we are hiding behind, open them wide, and walk through to greet the Lord with wide arms. May this be the beginning of a deeper intimacy with Christ, one which fills us with such joy that we can’t help but wish to spread His redemptive love, including our support of the Diocesan Ministry Appeal.
