Thank you for all of your support during this pandemic. As we continue to face suspension of parish liturgies due to rising numbers we ask that parishioners remember to send in their contribution envelopes.

The Christian Service Commission and Our Compassionate Companion Outreach Groups are looking for a way to reach out to people who are homebound due to the Virus or for any other reason. If you know of someone who may like to be contacted by letter/card or phone call, with their permission, please let Rosemary know the contact information. Additionally, if you would like to participate in the outreach, also contact Rosemary (845-1794).

We are currently seeing sky-rocketing numbers of people testing COVID-19 positive including here in our own community. As we see these numbers continue to rise we cannot stress enough the need to take the necessary precautions to keep you and your family safe and healthy! After consulting Bishop Gruss, Fr. Bill was left with the decision on whether or not to celebrate Mass in person. FR. BILL HAS DECIDED TO SUSPEND ALL WEEKEND LITURGIES AT ST. PETER PARISH UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. It is our hopes that this will be temporary but until numbers and outbreaks are controlled it is necessary for the safety and health of our parish community. Mass is livestreamed from the Cathedral of Mary of the Assumption on Sundays at 10:30 am. The link is https://saginaw.org/cathedral-live. We are sorry for any inconvenience that this may cause. This was a very hard decision and was not taken lightly. Please continue to pray for the end to this pandemic.
