Bishops' Statement on Amendment 3 (p. 9)
• Catholics in the Archdiocese of St. Louis have a long history of fighting the scourge of abortion. We are joined by Catholics throughout Missouri as well as the universal Church in defending life. On Tuesday, November 3, voters will get the opportunity to restore pro-life values to the Missouri Constitution. If passed, Amendment 3 would substantially limit the number of abortions
performed in our state and spare more women, men, and families from the multiplied harms abortion brings.
• Archbishop
Mitchell Rozanski recently joined with his brother bishops across Missouri to issue a powerful joint statement, video, and Respect Life Rosary calling the faithful to pray, fast, and educate for the passage of Amendment 3. Learn more here.

Construction Updates
New Parish Offices
We are excited to announce that our newly renovated St. Peter Parish Office is officially open for business! After months of construction and preparation, we are thrilled to welcome parishioners into this beautiful, updated space. This exciting milestone would not have been possible without the incredible generosity of our parish community. Thank you to everyone who contributed to our capital campaign and helped make this renovation a reality. We are also deeply grateful to the construction crews for their hard work and dedication throughout this project, as well as our parish staff for their patience, flexibility, and efforts during the transition. A special thank-you goes to our prayer groups and parish ministries for their understanding and flexibility as they adjusted to temporary changes and disruptions throughout the renovation. Your patience and cooperation have been greatly appreciated! Our renovated office features improved accessibility, expanded office spaces, a larger parlor, and a new meeting room designed to better serve our parishioners, ministries, and community for years to come. We look forward to celebrating this exciting new chapter with everyone at an official open house, tentatively planned for around Thanksgiving when the outdoor pavilion and gym vestibule are complete. More details and a confirmed date will be announced soon. Thank you for your continued prayers, generosity, and support as we continue to improve our parish home.

Gym Vestibule and Elevator
Construction crews have been hard at work transforming the entrance, with significant progress being made on both the interior and exterior of the building. The new entrance is taking shape, and preparations are underway for one of the most anticipated features of this project. Installation of the new elevator is scheduled to begin this coming Monday, October 26! This is a major milestone in the renovation, bringing us one step closer to providing improved ADA accessibility and a more welcoming, convenient entrance for all who use our gym facilities.
