Catholic Heart Work Camp
Catholic HEART Workcamp is about service, connection, and loving others. The mission trip is open to youth group members and provides opportunities to restore homes, and hearts, feed the hungry, lift the spirits of children, and bring joy to the elderly and disabled. The aim is to provide nothing short of amazing Catholic Mission Trips! Each Workcamp is equipped with a summer staff, director, manager, musician, nurse and priests to celebrate mass/confession. It is a youth friendly Christ centered Week of caring for others. Catholic HEART Workcamp faithfully and enthusiastically serves the Roman Catholic Church and its teachings and is an excellent opportunity to “love the least of these”. The Mission Trip is open to all Youth Group Members.
Religious Education
Confraternity of Christian Doctrine (CCD): St. Peter’s Religious Education assists parents with children in grades K-12 in fulfilling their duty and role as the Domestic Church. Our goal is to work with parents to provide an environment that fosters a relationship with the Trinity through prayer, scripture, and Church Tradition. Children will be exposed to scripture, doctrine, various prayer opportunities, small group discussion and activities to help them relate their faith to their daily life. Our programs support the sacramental preparation process for First Reconciliation, First Communion and Confirmation. It is important that the parents take an active role in witnessing their own faith to their children through active participation in the sacraments and their own continued faith development.

Altar Servers
All children after making their First Holy Communion through High School age are invited and encouraged to serve at the Lord’s Table by assisting the priest at the weekend Masses. This is an excellent opportunity to serve God by being an active participant in our worship community. Training is provided.
