Dear Parishioners and Friends of St. Peter Parish,
Wishing You God’s Blessings of
Health and Peace as we begin our
Summer Season.
By the Grace of God it seems as if we have “turned the corner” in terms of the COVID-19 Pandemic. We hope that you feel safe enough to return to Mass and to receive Holy Communion if you have not already done so. We are blessed with a large church and so we can still offer socially distanced seating on the side aisles while the main middle aisles are open to regular seating. Although not required, masks are recommended for those who are not vaccinated. It seems good to remain vigilant even though our infection rates in the state of Vermont have dramatically declined. Being cautious can only help us to continue to make positive progress.
We have several events happening this summer. We have the baptism of our Catechumens scheduled August 15th at the 11:00 A.M. Mass! This wonderful event will be followed by our parish picnic to take place at Mt. St. Joseph Academy. All are welcome. We will also have a Cemetery Volunteer Day on August 7th from 8:00 A.M. -1:00 P.M. All are welcome to participate under the direction of Mr. Tom Giffin. We are also planning to resume daily Mass on a regular basis in July on Mondays and Fridays at 9:00 A.M. beginning on July 16th. More details will be forth coming.
Please feel free to call the Friary with any questions or concerns about our parish life. In the meantime may God Bless You and Yours with Health and Peace.
Sincerely in Christ,
Fr. John Tokaz, O.F.M. Cap
Pastor
