The following is a listing of the organizations and ministries O thru W within Saint Peter Parish with links to their sites and/or more information:

Organization/Ministry	Description
Out to Lunch Bunch	All ladies of the parish are invited to join this fun group as they gather for fellowship over lunch at a different restaurant each month.
Parish Library	Fostering Catholic learning and adult education in the parish, the library contains over 3,000 books, video and audio materials, and other items of Catholic literature and reference material available at all times for sign-out under the honor system. Vounteers are needed in various library-related tasks. Call 481-8942 for more information.
Prayer Chain	Prayer warriors volunteer to pray for prayer intentions gathered by the parish and e-mailed out to the confidential list of volunteers each evening. There are no meetings and the only request is to pray for those in need.
Prayer Shawls	Volunteers hand knit or crochet shawls and lap robes that are given to people who are experiencing grief, illness, sadness, loneliness, or any other situation when the gift of love and prayer would be helpful and comforting.
Red Cross Shelter	Saint Peter Catholic Church is an American Red Cross-approved emergency shelter during times of distress in the Tri-Lakes area. Our parish seeks those willing to staff the shelter in time of need, and training is provided to volunteers willing to help.
Respect Life	The purpose of this Committee/Ministry is to articulate the Church’s teaching on the value and dignity of human life and to help those in our parish family to become aware of the ministries in the community that witness to that commitment. The RLC activates the resources of the parish in three areas: education, pastoral care, and political advocacy.
Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults	RCIA is the process through which adults inquire about, prepare for, and are welcomed into the Catholic Church with the sacraments of Baptism (if not already baptized), Confirmation, and Holy Eucharist. Weekly presentations, study, discussion, and prayer help participants understand and experience the specific teachings and practices of the Catholic Church.
Scouts	Saint Peter sponsors Cub Scout Pack 217 and Scouting Religious Awards recognized and presented with their religious medal during the annual Saint Peter Scout Mass and their certificates from the Bishop at the Scout Recognition Mass held at Saint Mary Cathedral.
Single Mothers of Mary	Our objective is to turn the hardship cross of single motherhood into a beautiful challenge with Christ, fulfilling our potential as Christian women through Jesus Christ. To do this, we will come together to pray, encourage, and grow in our personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Stephen Ministry	Stephen Ministers are lay Christians who receive a minimum of 50 hours of training and continuing education to equip them to provide confidential one-on-one Christian care to those in our community who are experiencing difficulty. A Stephen Minister typically meets with his or her (same sex) care receiver about an hour per week to listen, pray, support, encourage, and “be there” as long as needed.
That Man is You	That Man Is You! meets on Tuesday mornings and is an interactive men’s program combining the best research from science with the teachings of the Catholic faith and the wisdom of the saints to develop the vision of a man fully alive. By honestly addressing the pressures and temptations that men face in our modern culture, it seeks to form men who are capable of transforming homes and society.
Women’s Guild	The Saint Peter Women’s Guild increases the love of God and encourages community within the parish by supporting our parish and larger community needs, both financially and through service. All women of the parish are encouraged to participate in the guild, which meets once a month after morning Mass for prayer and social community with a breakfast and a presentation on a topic of interest.
