"Inspiring students to love God, their Catholic faith and learning" | |
Sunday School for Ages 2-5/Kindergarten
Sunday School for Ages 2 through 5 is held during the 10:00 a.m. Mass starting October 6th.
Parents and grandparents are invited to bring their children to the preschool building at 9:45 and pick them up immediately after Mass.
Children will learn about God’s love, pray together, play, and have fun in a safe and creative environment. A Sunday school registration form must be submitted before children are enrolled in the program. This will allow us to have adequate staffing and supplies.
All volunteers undergo a screening interview and a criminal background check, read and sign the Code of Conduct, and must be certified in “Protecting God’s Children,” the diocesan safe environment training program. For more information, contact Gayle Trachsel at gtrachsel@stpeterjc.org.

Athletic Registration:
Please remember to contact Mrs. Bell with any of your athletic needs or questions. She can be contacted by email at kbell@stpeterjc.org or by phone at 573-636-8933 Ext. 233. Please be patient for a response, especially during the school day.
Attached are the links to register for basketball and archery, as well as to be a coach or assistant coach for the 2024-2025 academic school year. The deadline to register for archery and basketball is October 4th. THERE WILL BE NO LATE REGISTRATIONS ACCEPTED!!!
If your child is interested in archery, please register them. Registration for Archery will be BEFORE the students do archery during PE so if your child wants to participate, please register them by October 4th. Please do not duplicate registrations as it becomes tedious looking through all students who are registered. If you are unsure whether or not you have registered your child for basketball or archery, please contact me and I will let you know.
The links will also be found on the St. Peter School website under the Athletics tab, then click on Athletic forms. The information will also be emailed through FACTS.
Information regarding the season, placement, etc. for individual sports can be found on the sports pages on the St. Peter website under the Athletics tab.

If you would like to coach, please fill out the coach application.
The only paperwork required to be sent to Mrs. Bell is a copy of a current physical exam form. The MSHSAA physical form can be found on the St. Peter Athletics page, and is available on the MSHSAA website as well.
As always, we are looking to add new members to the St. Peter Athletic Committee. The committee is a sub-committee of the School Advisory board and meets monthly. The AC is responsible for supervision when St. Peter hosts athletic events. If you have questions or would like to know more about the responsibilities of an AC member, or are interested in becoming a member of the Athletic Committee, please contact Mrs. Bell at kbell@stpeterjc.org.

TO BE AN “ACTIVE” CATHOLIC STEWARD MEANS:
- To Pray: that is, attend Mass faithfully in the parish on weekends and Holy Days.
- To Participate: that is, to use one’s time and talents to strengthen the parish community and advance the Gospel.
- To Sacrificially Give: that is, pledge and remain current on a tithe of financial first fruits to support the life and ministries of the parish. The goal is 8% to the parish and 2% to other worthy charities.
