Do you want to know more about the amazing, life-sized, illuminated Shroud of Turin we are fortunate to have on display in the Parish Ministry Center? It is the most studied and controversial artifact of the ancient world. You are invited to a fascinating presentation, "The Shroud of Turin: The Fifth Gospel". Drawing on extensive research, local Catholic journalist, Connie Pratt, will show how evidence from history, tradition, iconography, textile study, botany and metallurgy complements Sacred Scripture. Learn what the 32 multi-discipline investigators of the Shroud of Turin Research Project (STURP) learned about the image, the blood, and the wounds of the tortured man on the shroud. For more information and to RSVP, contact Stephanie Kemp (stephanierkemp@gmail.com or 719-481-4355).

The Church needs you!
We need adult volunteers who want to learn more about their Catholic faith and help another to do likewise. By becoming a Sponsor, you would journey alongside an individual who desires baptism or reception into the Catholic Church. This journey involves weekly classes, and it starts in September and culminates with the joy of Easter. Sponsors do not formally teach but instead, you would provide companionship and a living witness to the beauty of the Catholic faith. Walk with another on the Road to Emmaus (Luke 24:13-35) and take your first step forward, by contacting Deacon Nolan Behr (nbehr@diocs.org). 

Please pray the rosary every day. 168,642 rosaries prayed so far by St. Peter parishioners! To submit your rosary count, fill in an anonymous tally sheet on the rosary table in the back of the church and place in the glass vase; or email Monica Whiteside at monica.whiteside@icloud.com.
