The cost is $20 per plant. Please make your check payable to St. Peter Church and put “Easter lilies” and the name of the person you wish to honor in the memo section.

Diocesan Ministry Appeal
Jesus wants to be our refuge when we feel alone, are frightened, and suffer: “Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest (Matthew 11:28). What a relief. By supporting initiatives that provide Christ’s sheltering love to those in need, we can help the frightened and suffering of his flock. Please prayerfully consider a gift to the Diocesan Ministry Appeal.
Prayer Intention
As we pray together each day at 3pm, please join us in praying for our parish staff.

Tapping into Theology - Tuesday, March 10, 7pm
Join us in the PMC where Mike White, a favorite past speaker, will present “The Annunciation: Pivot Point of Time and Eternity.” It will be another great talk (different from his past lectures) on this special feast that doesn't get much attention, because it comes during Lent - on March 25. His presentation will be a meditation which will dive into the treasures buried in just 13 verses of the first Chapter of Luke (and a few from Matthew). The night will unveil their full Catholic magnificence and glory. RSVP to stephanierkemp@gmail.com or 719-481-4355 (make a note if requesting pizza for dinner.)

Please prayerfully consider supporting the
Milk Farm Initiative
and Seminary Formation for the Diocese of Kottapuram India
Supporting initiatives like the Milk Farm Initiative and seminary formation in the Diocese of Kottapuram, India, is a beautiful way to participate in the Church's mission of charity and evangelization. Almsgiving is an act of love and a way to share the blessings God has given you with others.
The Milk Farm Initiative aims to establish a milk farm that will provide quality milk to underprivileged children in the community and generate revenue to support the seminary formation of future priests. The funds also foster a source to nurture future leaders in the religious community.
Please join us in supporting the Diocese of Kottapuram by taking a bag from the table in the church vestibule for your giving. You may return the bag to the parish office, in the offertory basket at Mass or in the basket where the bags are located in the vestibule. Please return your bag by Easter Sunday.
Thank you and May God Bless You
