ST. PETER’S PARISH MISSION STATEMENT
Jesus entrusted the mission of the Church to Saint Peter. Rooted in scripture, prayer and sacraments, we, the community
of St. Peter’s Parish, embrace the mission in today’s world. Through proclamation of the Word, the celebration of the
Eucharist, Stewardship, ongoing faith development, and the nurturing of a sense of belonging, we will foster an allinclusive community of love.
Approved December 2005

Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time
STEWARDSHIP REFLECTION:
“…. Rising very early before dawn, he left and went off to a deserted
place, where he prayed.. He told them, “Let us go to the nearby
villages that I may preach there also. For this purpose have I come…”
-Mark 1:35, 38
In today’s Gospel reading we see a perfect example of stewardship.
Jesus gives His time to do all that God wishes – healing the sick and
preaching. Yet, Jesus also makes time to be alone in prayer. It is
through prayer, spending time with God, that we find the strength to
do what God wishes us to do. Be sure to find time every day to be
with God.

associated book, are then mailed to the child. This
