News & Events
Second Collection - November 17 & 18
The national collection for the Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD) will support and empower communities across the country as they transform the places they live into reflections of the Kingdom of God. For more than 45 years, CCHD has addressed the problem of poverty by attacking its root causes and funding community projects that promote independence as a means of finding a permanent end to poverty. For more information, visit usccb.org/cchd/collection. Thank you for your generosity. 
Christmas Poinsettias in Memory of Loved Ones
The St. Peter Art and Environment Ministry is giving parishioners the opportunity to purchase one or more poinsettias in memory of loved ones. The flowers will be placed in the church for Christmas. The cost is $15 per plant. Loved ones will be remembered in the bulletin, so please let us know the name(s) of those you are honoring. Send checks payable to St. Peter Catholic Church and put "poinsettias" and the name of your loved one(s) in the memo section. Plants will be given away mid-January. Orders must be placed by Monday, November 26. Please call Dede Laugesen at 719-659-3121 if you have any questions. Deacon Scotty Bowen on Catholic Radio

There are no black out dates or other restrictions! PROMO CODE: SCHOOL and St. Peter ID: SPCS51. Please share this with your friends and family, too! Pray for persecuted Christians
Did you know that one in 12 Christians throughout the world suffers persecution? While genocide at the hands of the Islamic State and others in the Middle East has been particularly egregious, the slavery, imprisonment, torture, rape, expulsion and murder of the followers of Christ is epidemic around the globe. It is estimated that 215 million Christians experience high levels of persecution worldwide (2018 Open Doors World Watch List). Please join us here at the parish praying for our suffering brothers and sisters in faith. You can pick up a beautiful prayer card (with the olive wood cross on the front) as a reminder at the Welcome Center at the north entrance. "Remember the prisoners as if chained with them - those who are mistreated - since you are yourselves are in the body also." Hebrews13: 3 Are you interested in becoming Catholic?
Are you discerning about being baptized or being initiated into the Catholic Church? Are you an adult who wants to complete their sacraments? If so, the Rite of Christian Initiation (RCIA) is the perfect place to not only grow in your relationship with God, but also learn more about the Catholic faith. If you are interested and ready to answer your call to discern the next step in your faith journey or just have questions about this process, please contact Brittany Keas (719-481-3511 ext. 1090). Formal classes begin in September. Safe Environment Training for St. Peter Volunteers

Find the training schedule here. For more information, contact Julie Dickinson. We are grateful for our volunteers and sincerely appreciate your cooperation! Message From Monument Police Department
In the last several months the Monument area has experienced a sharp increase in trespasses into vehicles, several residential burglaries, and four motor vehicle thefts. In almost all of these cases the vehicles were left unlocked in the driveway or street, or in a garage with the garage door open. One simple way to curb these crimes of opportunity is if everyone were to take very simple security precautions. First, always lock your vehicle. If you leave your car outside make sure that nothing of value is left in it (to include garage door remote control) and that no personal items can be seen simply by looking in the car. Make sure to always close your garage door at night and lock the passage door that leads from the garage into your residence. Finally, make sure that all windows and doors to your house are secured. These very simple precautions can help prevent you from becoming a victim. If we remove the opportunity we hope to eventually remove the attempts. Thank you, Commander Steve Burk |
