The inscription mass is a commitment ceremony for the upcoming Confirmandi. They agree to spend the next year developing their spiritual lives through prayer, regular attendance at mass and Holy Days, community service and to attend any preparation classes necessary. The entire point is to have the Confirmandi understand that the Gifts that are given to us by the Holy Spirit are only given in full when we are completely open and receptive. That is their responsibility.

Mr. Dennis Herb, parishioner and Grandfather to St. Peter's students Ellis, Doree, Grant, Harrison and Dylan was selected as the 2010 St. Patrick's Day Grand Marshall! Our own Monsignor Costigan will be the 2010 Chaplain!

Congratulations!
