The Couple Checkup is designed to help you and your
partner build a more satisfying and intimate relationship. Just answering
the questions will stimulate thoughts and attitudes about your relationship.
It is designed to activate dialogue, discovery, and increase the overall
quality of your relationship.
It will help you discover your strengths as a couple. Strengths are what enable you to
enjoy, and to continue developing a healthy relationship. It will also help
you identify issues that are threatening the vitality of your relationship
and may need to be addressed.

Welcome to St. Peter's Catholic Church
You enter this Church...not as a stranger, but as a guest of God. He is your heavenly Father.
Come, then, with joy in your heart and thanks on your lips into His presence, offering Him your love and service.
Be grateful to the strong and loyal ones who, in the name of Jesus Christ, built this place of worship, and to all who have beautified it and hallowed
it with their prayers and praise.
Ask His blessing on those who love His house of faith as the inspiration of their labor, rejoicing in the power of the Holy Spirit, and may that
blessing rest on you, both on your going out and your coming in.

The Ascension of the Lord (May 20, 2012)
Historians have identified a common trait of great leaders. It is not their
strategy or tactics, although those are important. It is not that they assembled
overwhelming numbers of soldiers against an inferior enemy. It is that they
lead from the front. King Leonidas at the front of three hundred Spartans
at Thermopylae, Aleaxander the Great, George Washington and Andrew Jackson all
lead their men into battle. They did not ask others to take more risk
than they were willing to take themselves. They lead from the front.
God the Father sent God the Son into the world to teach us by example and by
word to go into the world and to lead others to follow Him by imitating Him.
Jesus is the Word and the Truth. He taught us the Truth with his Word. He showed
us the Truth in his actions. Jesus led from the front. When we
acknowledge Jesus as the Son of God and imitate him, he is in us and we are in
him and He is in the world. Have we followed him? Are we still following him?
Will we lead others to him? Do we lead from the front?

Week is the Heart of the Catholic Church year. It is a time to commemorate, observe and encourage greater involvement

beautiful vision our young altar servers made as they solemnly served during the
three days of prayer and celebration of the Triduum.
With much pride and gratitude to these young members of our congragation, we
would like to thank the following for the sacrifice of their time of service and
preparation:

St.
Peter's Catholic Church & KC Council 1208 present a practical and effective
program to help Catholics better understand their Faith.
Would you like to learn
more about your Catholic faith but don't have time to read a lot of
books? If so, we have an exciting program starting here at St.
Peter's. You will find a display in the Church vestibule
offering inspiring and educational Catholic CDs and brochures. These
CDs include explanations of our Catholic Faith, accounts of God's
incredible mercy in the personal lives of Catholics and practical
information for living your faith. These CDs are especially
effective for those who would like to learn more about Christ and
their faith, but have little time to study. Use your car as a
university on wheels - listen as you drive, or even as you exercise.
If you are able to support the program, the $3.00 recommended
donations are gratefully appreciated and needed to make new titles
available in the future. Look for the display in the back of the
Church.
The Lost and Found items are located in the locked glass display case in the
vestibule of the church. The items currently in the case will be kept on display
for one more month. After that time they will be donated to appropriate
charities/organizations.
If you have lost anything in church, please go to the display case to see if it
was found and placed there. To retrieve an item, contact an usher before or
after Mass. They will be glad to assist you. Lost and Found items will be
cleared out of the case on a rotation basis once every six months.
