This Lent we invite you to deepen your relationship with God through strengthening your prayer life. Each night of St. Peter’s Lenten Parish Mission invites you to engage with the Lord through learning prayer techniques and putting them into action. Every night will have music, and the final of the three nights concludes with Eucharistic Adoration and the opportunity for Confessions as well.

Sunday, March 30th at 7pm: “Finding Peace Amidst the Noise”
Join us as we kick off our mission, with a chance to step away from the busyness of life and enter into a deeper encounter with God. With music led by Jim Gregory (Director of Music Ministry) and a talk and guided meditation by Allison Oblen (Director of Faith Formation), you will have the chance to engage in scripture with your imagination, rooted in the wisdom of St. Ignatius of Loyola. Step away. Be still. Encounter Christ in a new way.
Monday, March 31st at 7pm: “Divine Reading”
Enjoy prayerful music followed by a reflection led by Chris Black (Pastoral Associate for Adult Faith Formation) on praying with scripture. Together with others, you’ll have the opportunity to practice opening your heart and mind to what God is trying to tell you through the bible. The night will conclude with additional prayer and music.
Tuesday, April 1st at 7pm: “Turn to God”
On the final night, prayerful music will lead into a talk led by Marissa Dabakian (Director of Stewardship and Development). You’ll learn about the Catholic concept of contrition and how this sorrow moves us to a deeper experience of God's love and mercy. In this spirit of conversion, we will prepare ourselves to receive forgiveness through Reconciliation and pray before the Lord through Adoration. Hannah Schmitz (Notre Dame ECHO Apprentice) will lead a brief reflection on Eucharistic Adoration before all will be invited to engage in the Blessed Sacrament and Confessions.
This Parish Mission is recommended for adults and teens. Each night’s programming will be approximately 1.5 hours. While the most enhanced experience will be to attend all three nights, all are welcome to attend any single night. Come pray with us!
