Scripture Discussion: Explore the Word of God! 

  • Wed 8:45-10:15am at Sacred Heart Activity Center. We are currently studying Paul’s Letter to the Romans. Come for morning Mass and stay for the discussion.
  • Wed 6:30-8:00pm at St. Peter Ministry Resource Center (Mother Teresa room). We read and discuss next Sunday’s readings. This includes both New and Old Testament.

All are invited and encouraged to participate. There is no teaching, but we learn from one another. It is amazing what insights are shared.


Stations of the Cross

A beautiful and rich tradition in the Catholic Church is to walk with Jesus on His way to the crucifixion during Lent. It is a difficult walk, a humbling walk, a walk that reminds us of His immeasurable love for us and the great sacrifice that He made for each one of us.


Wednesdays of Lent, 6:30pm, St. Peter Church with the Knights of Columbus (English). (Also, Fridays of Lent, 7:00pm, St. Joseph in Spanish.)
