First Reconciliation
The sacrament of First Reconciliation, or Penance, is celebrated in the 2nd grade. Children must be baptized. Students are catechized for reception of the sacrament during religion and faith formation classes. Special classes are available for older students. For more information, contact Victoria Goetz (719-481-3511 x 1090).
First Eucharist
Students receive First Eucharist, or Holy Communion, in the second grade after having made their First Reconciliation, usually in May. Students are catechized for this sacrament during their faith formation classes. Special classes are available for older students. For more information, contact Victoria Goetz (719-481-3511 x 1090).
Confirmation
Our St. Peter Confirmation program seeks to set the hearts of young people on fire with the Holy Spirit. We help prepare them for a fruitful reception of the Sacrament of Confirmation and equip them for lifelong discipleship of Jesus Christ. Our program is a two-year middle school preparation course for 7th - 8th grade students. Both years of formation are required, and the Sacrament of Confirmation is received at the end of the 8th grade year. If your child has an exceptional circumstance or if you have any questions or concerns, please contact Sr. Jackie Sardina, ([email protected], 719-481-3511, x1205). For more information, registration, schedules, and forms, please see the St. Peter Confirmation Webpage here.

Anointing of the Sick
Contact the church office (719-481-3511) to arrange for a priest to anoint any Catholic in need of this sacrament of healing.
Funeral Masses
While not a sacrament, the Rite of Christian Burial and the Funeral Mass are two of the most important services of the church. To schedule a funeral, please contact the parish office at 719-481-3511. Click here to learn more.
Holy Orders
The Sacrament of Holy Orders is the continuation of Christ's priesthood, which He bestowed upon His apostles; thus, the Catechism of the Catholic Church refers to the Sacrament of Holy Orders as "the sacrament of apostolic ministry." The Diocese of Colorado Springs can help you answer questions about the priesthood and discern your own vocation.
Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA)
OCIA 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. For more information, contact the parish office at 719-481-3511 or Deacon Nolan Behr ([email protected]). To complete an OCIA Inquiry Form, click here.
