Virtus Training We have had several people ask about becoming a parish or school volunteer. And some of you have indicated you do not want to take the Virtus class on-line but would prefer taking a class in person. If we get enough interested people the diocese will conduct the class at our location. The class takes about 2 hours and you need only to bring a pen. If you are interested please call the parish office at 419- 294-1268. The diocese would like at least 20 people in the class and would like to advertise it and get individuals from surrounding parishes to attend as well.

As some of you might be aware, there has been some discussion and inquiry about the possibility of expanding our school beyond the current sixth grade level. While these discussions are purely gauging interest at this point, we want to invite you to share your input and ideas with us about this subject. There will be two “town hall meetings” following church services today. The first will take place at the St. Peter School gymnasium following the 10:30 am Mass. The second meeting will take place at St. Mary Center in Kirby at 3:00 pm. We invite anyone interested to attend these meetings and share your thoughts on the subject. These meetings are not intended to go in depth on the topic but rather gauge interest and hear thoughts and opinions. We hope to see you there and we thank you for your prayerful thoughtfulness on the subject. ● A special thank you to the Catholic Ladies of Columbia and the Knights of Columbus for their tremendous generosity and donation from the Purse Bingo event last Friday night.
