Updates from Archbishop Hebda
Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ,
I write to you with important news and a grateful heart. After much prayer, consultation, and discussion, the Catholic bishops of Minnesota today announced that the Sunday Mass obligation will return the weekend of July 3-4. I encourage each of you to read the full text of the Minnesota bishops’ statement, which may be found here. It includes the rationale for the decision, the importance of the return to the Mass, and possible exceptions to the Sunday obligation.
Many of you have generously shared with me over the past 15 months stories of how difficult the pandemic has been on you, your loved ones, your jobs, your parishes, your communities and beyond. So many have lost so much, including family and friends. Please join me in remembering those who have died and those among us who continue to grieve their loss.
At the same time, many of you have shared stories of great sacrifice by healthcare workers, doctors and others who risked their own health and safety to help others in the midst of the pandemic. These women and men continue to exemplify real charity and courage as they move from treating COVID-19 patients to resuming their assigned roles in our clinics, hospitals, nursing homes and other care facilities. I know my appreciation for our sisters and brothers in healthcare and emergency services has only grown during this crisis. I am truly grateful to them and to their family members, who also endured heightened risks to health and safety.
My gratitude extends, as well, to all the faithful of the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis. Some of you have sacrificed Sunday and daily Mass attendance for more than a year to minimize the risk to the loved ones with whom you live, and often for whom you care, and to the healthcare personnel who would have to care for you in the event that you became ill. You have shared with me the heartbreak you experienced by not being able to receive our Lord in the Eucharist. Many others, thankfully, have been able to safely return to in-person Mass since the end of last May due to the diligence and extraordinary coordination and safety protocols put into place by our dedicated priests, parish staffs and volunteers. These same teams also worked creatively, instituting parking lot Masses and initiating efforts to make the Mass available through livestreaming and digital ministries. The generosity of so many has kept our parishes open and operating – providing support and services to our sisters and brothers who count on them for spiritual assistance and accompaniment and even social services.
I continue to be grateful to our parish and school staffs. Their hard work and flexibility during constantly changing conditions and directives made it possible for the work of Christ to continue. Our Catholic school and religious education students were able to learn continuously – in-person and remotely – throughout the year. Parish staffs have supported existing ministries and started new ones, often times behind-the-scenes with little or no recognition for their innovation and creativity.
The hard work of our parishes and school staff have allowed us to gather safely throughout this year. That safety has only increased as we gratefully see so many signs that the pandemic is receding. Given those positive developments, I want to encourage those who have stayed away to come back and worship together. We know that we need the strength that comes from the sacraments in order to live our Christian life and we know that our parish communities are not complete without you.
As we fully return to the Sunday Mass in early July, please join me in praying for the souls of those who have died from COVID-19, those who grieve them and for an end to the COVID-19 pandemic around the globe. Please also join my prayers of gratitude for the faithful of the Archdiocese and for those who serve so many in our parishes, schools and Catholic entities. May you know an abundance of divine blessings as we all return to the Lord’s table.
Sincerely in Christ,
Most Reverend Bernard A. Hebda Archbishop of Saint Paul and Minneapolis

Stewardship as a Way of Life
-
-
God expects us to cultivate the gifts He has given us even more in this time, during which the Corona virus came into our life as a guest, unexpected, unknown, and lethal; above all, unwanted. Despite the pandemic, we have been witnessing a certain beautiful flourishing of faith, charity, and other signs of the creative work of the Holy Spirit through the freedom of believers.
Why do we dare to continue with you the Stewardship as a Way of Life in this uncertain New Year at the Church of St. Peter? We humbly dare to continue the Stewardship as a Way of Life at the Church of St. Peter, because of the willingness to abandon the old, what is behind us, and begin to desire to be created again by the power of God’s Holy Spirit within the Church.
"I came that they may have life and have it abundantly." John 10:10 describes the desire we have at St. Peter’s to deepen our Faith, Hope and Charity toward the church and our brothers all over the world.

As disciples of Jesus Christ we recognize the importance of being good stewards of the many gifts He has given us. The Church of St. Peter provides many ways to enrich your relationship with Jesus through engaging worship and a commitment to daily prayer.
As a community, we are striving to make Stewardship a Way of Life for all of our members so we can show our gratitude to God for the many gifts He has given to each one of us.
As part of our Stewardship formation, our community prays our Stewardship Prayer together at select times during our weekend liturgies, and we encourage parishioners to offer this prayer on their own. Additional copies of our parish Stewardship Prayer are available from our ministry board in the church entryway.

The Church of St. Peter offers many opportunities for our parish families to use their God-given talents to help us strengthen and build the Kingdom of God. We encourage you to spend some time in prayer asking the Lord what talents He’s asking you to share with the people of St. Peter.
The Church of St. Peter organizes our volunteer opportunities into three categories: From the Parish, In the Parish, and Hosted by the Parish.
Ministries identified as “From the Parish” are essential to the life of our parish include Eucharistic minister, lectors, sacristans, catechists and other important volunteer roles.
Ministries identified as “In the Parish” are ministries that enhance our parish life and help us serve our neighbors. Ministries in this category include the backpack program, Council of Women baptismal bib making, our celebrating seniors and others.
Ministries identified as “Hosted by the Parish” are ministries from other organizations that are closely related to our community, include many of our parishioners, and who use our parish facilities. Examples of ministries hosted by the parish include the Knights of Columbus, Boy Scouts, Hope for the Journey home and others.
Information on all of our volunteer opportunities is available from our parish ministry board in the Church entry way and on our website. We are excited to welcome you, and your gifts of time and talent in service to our parish.

As living disciples of Jesus we recognize that everything we have is a gift from God to be used in service to Christ’s Holy Church. This “need to give” is our response of gratitude for all we’ve received since there is not a single part of our life that has not been touched by God’s grace.
We invite you to consider making a commitment to financially support our parish through your stewardship of treasure. The Lord will not be outdone in generosity, so in that spirit we ask you to prayerfully pledge your weekly, monthly or annual support to the parish by completing the pledge card in your Welcome Packet.
The best, most reliable way to give to the Church of St. Peter is by signing up for online giving. Our parish uses ParishSoft Giving which provides easy, secure online giving for your weekly offering, special funds, and religious education registration.
ParishSoft giving also offers a mobile app you can use once your account is in place for special collections and projects throughout the year.
