Did you know... that St. Peter’s CWL hold a
weekly Virtual Rosary?

Started during the pandemic, it proved a wonderful way to strengthen our faith and keep in touch with our sisters. It was so well received; it was decided to keep going even after restrictions were lifted. The Rosary is held at 7:00 pm on different days of the week. Invites are sent out with the specific date and Zoom details three or four days in advance.

We encourage all ladies from our Parish Family to join us. Please contact Marian Strom at mstrom55@gmail.com for more information.
