New to St. Peter’s? We’re So Glad You’re Here.

Whether you’re new to the area, returning to the Church, or just beginning to explore your faith, welcome. St. Peter’s is a vibrant and growing Catholic parish, and we’d love to walk with you on your journey. Registering with the parish helps us stay in touch, share upcoming events, support you and your family in the sacraments, and connect you with ministries and opportunities to grow in community and faith.

What to Expect at Mass

Everyone is welcome to attend Mass at St. Peter’s – no sign-up or prior experience needed. If you’re coming for the first time or it’s been a while, know that you are welcome just as you are. Greeters are available at the entrance to answer questions or help you find your way. Mass usually lasts about an hour and includes Scripture readings, a homily (a short reflection sometimes called a sermon), prayer, and the celebration of the Eucharist.

If you’re unfamiliar with the order of the Mass, don’t worry – many people quietly follow along and learn as they go. Key parts of the Mass, including the responses and song lyrics, are displayed on large projector screens at the front of the church to help everyone participate comfortably.

If you are not Catholic or not prepared to receive Communion, you’re still invited to come forward during Communion for a blessing – just cross your arms over your chest to let the minister know.

A Place for Everyone

Whether you’re single, married, have young children or grown ones, or are attending on your own, there is a place for you here. The 9:30 a.m. Sunday Mass tends to be a good fit for families with young children, as it includes Children’s Liturgy and music led by the children’s choir.

Each of our weekend Masses has its own character, and we invite you to attend the one that best suits your family, schedule and prayer style. Whatever Mass you attend, you’ll find a welcoming community ready to pray alongside you. Outside of Mass, we offer children, youth and adult programs, and many ways to get involved in parish life.

We’re looking forward to getting to know you!
