Christian Formation & Community Life
Witness to Love
Last year, St. Peter Parish began offering a new marriage preparation program to couples getting married in our Parish. Three couples have completed the Witness To Love program and we currently have eight engaged couples at different stages in their preparation. We have received very positive feedback from this program, especially the value of working with a mentor couple.
Mentor couples do not need advance training. Instead, they work through the materials at the same time as the engaged couple and help to be a positive example for the engaged couple while helping integrate them into parish life.
Mentor couples are parishioners who have been married for at least 5 years, active in a ministry, and are in full communion with the Church. If you and your spouse are interested in being a mentor couple for an engaged couple in our parish or would like more information on this program, please contact Carrie Templeton at: carrietemp1978@gmail.com.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Award
Congratulations to two of our parishioners, Donnie and Cassandra Watson, who received the Dr. Martin Luther King award from Bishop Deshotel on January 12, 2024. This award was bestowed upon them for their commitment to working for the poor and needy in the New Iberia community. Congratulations to this wonderful couple!

Prayer Blanket Ministry
Do you know of someone who needs healing or would benefit from prayer? Consider enrolling that person in The St Peter Prayer Blanket Ministry. The recipient will receive a blessed prayer blanket, a healing prayer, enrollment in the Church prayer request book and remembrance of those enrolled in the ministry at the weekend Masses. There is no charge to receive a blanket. In addition to these benefits, a candle can burn in Church for a week for $5.00. If you would like a blanket or would want to volunteer to sew, crochet or knit for this Ministry, please contact Eileen in the Parish Office at 337-359-4848.
