School Age Baptism

“Let the little children come to me.” – Matthew 19:14

Baptism is the first step in a lifelong journey of faith. Through this sacrament, we are welcomed into the Church, cleansed of original sin, and become children of God. For children beyond infancy, Baptism preparation includes additional formation and a deeper understanding of what it means to begin this journey with Christ.

At St. Peter’s, we offer a preparation program for children in Grades 2–5 who have not yet been baptized. Older children (grades 6 and up) follow a different program, which you can learn more about on our Sacraments for Teens page.

How Preparation Works

Our School Aged Baptism  program runs in conjunction with our First Reconciliation/First Communion & Confirmation programs. 

Our combined programs for First Reconciliation/First Communion and Confirmation typically run from fall to spring and includes a blend of in-person gatherings and home-based learning. 

Our sessions this year will be offered on Mondays and Tuesdays from 6pm until 7:30pm.

We look forward to welcoming your child into the Church and walking with your family on this beautiful journey of faith.

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.
