Parish Registration Form

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!

The Resurrection Choir at St. Peter’s stands as a testament to the power of music and compassion. By coming together for the sole purpose of singing at Catholic funerals, choir members provide a touching and heartfelt gift to grieving families, lifting spirits and creating a sense of peace during times of loss.

For those who wish to be part of a choir but cannot make a weekly commitment, the Resurrection Choir is the perfect fit. We understand that people have busy lives and might find it challenging to commit to regular rehearsals. Therefore, we only practice before each funeral Mass, allowing members to participate when they are available.

If you want to be part of a choir that makes a difference without the pressure of a weekly commitment, we warmly welcome you.  The joy of making a positive impact on the lives of grieving families is the most rewarding aspect of being part of the Resurrection Choir.

Encounter is a new choir that began to serve St. Peters in late 2022. We would love to welcome singers and musicians of all ages to join our growing group. Our song selections are mostly traditional sprinkled with some contemporary – sourced from the Glory & Praise hymnal. 

 

Our choir has a passion for leading St Peter’s congregation in praise, the meaning of our name, Laudate.  We are a friendly and supportive group who love the liturgy, the music and the gift of blending our voices with each other and the assembly. The music we sing is diverse, from chant & traditional to contemporary. Our membership presently is mostly adults but families with children are always welcome. Many young people have grown up in our ranks! Singers and instrumentalists, with or without experience, who share our desire to praise and to serve, are invited to join us.

 

Youth Alive is a group of young singers and musicians who come together to offer praise to God.  Being a part of our choir provides kids and teens with opportunities to grow musically as individuals, while contributing to the artistry of singing together as a group.

There are also opportunities to grow into leading roles, thereby allowing for teens to build confidence, and become role models for the younger ones. We are always happy to welcome new members who share our passion for music, as well as a solid commitment to serving the parish of St Peter’s.

 

We are a group of singers and players who get up extra early to praise God with music!

There are opportunities for a variety of skill and confidence levels. Being able to read music is an asset but is not required. Instruments get the chance to shine by playing musical parts.

Choristers are encouraged to blend their voices in song and are provided with the opportunity to sing solo parts as needed. We practise every two weeks for about an hour. There is an emphasis on joy and mutual support.

Welcome to our Saturday Night Live Choir where our dedicated singers and musicians understand the importance of embracing modern musical styles while honoring our rich Catholic traditions. Our limited practice time before Mass enables those who are busy during the week, to fit both choir participation and Mass into their schedules. 

Our choir’s energy and enthusiasm radiates throughout the church as we engage the congregation in active participation. Our goal is to create an atmosphere that resonates with all generations, inviting the congregation to connect deeply with their spirituality through the power of music, igniting the fire of faith within every heart present.  We happily welcome new members!
