St. Peter Parish

Dear St. Peter Parish Family, On June 5, 2022 I will turn 72. June 30, 2022 will bring to completion eight years of my pastorate at St. Peter Parish in Chesaning and St. Cyril Parish in Bannister, which began on July 1, 2014. My plan is to retire at the end of June 2022. As you many know I've had some acute health issues with my back resulting in two surgeries, one in December of 2020 and the other in May of 2021. The surgeries corrected two structural issues but cannot correct arthritis and stenosis.More and more mobility issues are developing in both of my legs. More and more mobility issues are developing in both of my legs. Therefore it is my desire to step-down and become a senior priest June 30, 2022. In Christ and Mary, Fr. Bill

Funeral Luncheon Teams are needed to provide funeral luncheons for our grieving families. Two-person teams would host the luncheon, secure a team to assist in serving the meal, and contact parishioners to bring a dish for the meal. Currently, there are volunteers to assist in serving the meal for bringing a passing dish. This ministry is a way to show support and hospitality to our grieving families. If you would like to share your time and talent showing hospitality to our families, please contact Shelly Kenney at 989-845-1794.

The mailing for the St. Peter Parish Faith Formation and Youth Ministry Programs went out to families last week!

Our youth ministry program will have several options including meeting weekly, lessons in our Google classroom and a "subscription" box for every 6th-12th grader in our parish (sent out 4 times a year). We hope our families will join us this year! Click the link for this year's calendars for each program!
