A message from Father O’Toole
Dear Parishioners,
After months of preparation, we are excited to approach the official kickoff of our Casting Wide Our Nets Capital Campaign! Next week, every family in our parish will receive a packet containing a letter from me with a pledge request and information on how to support St. Peter’s master plan.
Before this mailing, I want to share a few key thoughts:
Invitation, Not Expectation: Each family will receive a suggested request based on careful consideration. This is a starting point for your personal discernment, not an obligation. The parish will gratefully receive any gift you choose to offer.
Reflect and Pray: Please take a moment to reflect on the future of St. Peter and prayerfully consider how you might contribute, mindful of the blessings God has entrusted to you.
Shared Responsibility: This campaign is a shared effort. Every family is invited to contribute through generosity, sacrifice, and prayer to ensure its success.
We look forward to celebrating the kickoff with you next week. Together, we can build a bright future for St. Peter!
In service to Christ and you,
Fr. O’Toole
Words of support from our campaign team
Larry and Josie Bommarito
Larry has been a parishioner his entire life. Josie has been a parishioner since their wedding in 1983.
What does “Casting Wide Our Net” mean to you?“Casting Wide Your Net” is a call not only to reach out to all parish households to invite them to be a part of this capital campaign, it also signifies our evangelical call to bring the good news of salvation to our neighborhood, to our community, and all those we encounter. It’s an invitation to participate in an ambitious project that will help us to strengthen our physical plant in order to more effectively heed the Gospel call to holiness and evangelization.
What ministries are you involved in?
ACTS, Bible Study, Prayer Groups, Parish Council, and others through the years.
Why did you choose to support the campaign?
St. Peter Parish is the heart of our family, both the family that I grew up in, and the family that we raised here. It is the place where we go (and still go) to give thanks to celebrate, to pray, to learn, to grieve, to play and to build community.
