Church Building Update


 

 St. Peter the Apostle Catholic Church

We are excited that we are now in our new church building.  As we settle into the building we still have open artistic projects.  We are now offering you the opportunity as parishioners to personally be engaged in the financing of the various items within the Church interior. This is a great opportunity for a memorial donation to be given to particular items. Churches in the past have invited parishioners to memorialize a loved one or a family and Christians have responded as such.

If you or your family would like to support this effort, you can see below the artifacts that will grace our new church. We invite you to look over the religious items listed below.  We may not be able to do all these items below unless we have the special involvement of parishioners. Individual, Family or Group Donations can be pledged over three to five years.
