- Youth Group: Sr. Madrine would like to inform all parents with children aged 12 years and older that we are going to resume the youth group activities. We will have a youth Mass which will take place on April 23rd which will be our kick-off project. We will meet from 2 – 4pm spanning several Saturdays (3/25, 4/15, and 4/22). If your children are in this age group, please plan on bringing them to these sessions. Thank you.
- The Society of Saint Vincent de Paul is coming to Saint’s Peter and Paul Parish. Daniel Kearns, the Executive Director of the Richmond Council, will be back on Wednesday, March 22nd at 7pm in the Commons to discuss the Society’s background, mission and tips on how we can get started.

- Lenten Lunches return this Lenten season beginning today, February 24th in the Commons, after Stations of the Cross at noon. We can’t do it without your help! There is a sign-up sheet on the kitchen door in the Commons for those willing to contribute soup or sandwiches. Please fill in your name/phone #/what kind of soup or sandwich you’ll be bringing. Thank you in advance.
- Fish Fry-days are BACK! The cost remains at $13. Times are as follows: Drive-thru only from 4:30-5:30pm; dine-in and drive-thru 5:30 – 7:00pm. The change in time will ideally cut-down on the wait both inside and out. Contact Doug Mullinex at 434.981.6950 with questions. Your dessert donations have been fabulous! Please keep them coming.
- Lenten Coin cans are available at the entrance to the church. This year we will work to rebuild the Cash Reserve fund. If you took a can, please plan on returning your can next weekend, March 25 and 26. There will be a box at the baptism font for you to deposit your can. Thank you for your sacrifice this Lenten season!
- Mass on Tuesdays during Lent (through April 4) are celebrated at Noon.
- The Spring campaign for 40 Days for Life begins at the end of February. Sts. Peter and Paul has committed to vigil hours on Wednesdays, beginning March 1st from 10 – 11am in front of Planned Parenthood (2964 Hydraulic Road). A group of parishioners meet in front of Jefferson Pharmacy and depart promptly at 9 am. Anyone wishing to drive themselves can find ample parking across the street behind the Baptist church. These vigils are non-confrontational and meant solely to pray peacefully for the unborn.
