A group of dedicated members belong to this prayer chain. Ponticuli means "Little Bridges" to suggest how both praying for others and requesting prayers of others create bridges and sustains relationships with each other and with God. The Prayer Request Ministry at St. Peter Parish lifts up specific requests, concerns, emergency situations, prayers of thanksgiving, etc. To make a prayer request or to become a member of the prayer ministry, you may: 1) contact Philip Latiff at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. ; or 2) complete and return a form located by the Sacred Heart of Jesus statue, Blessed Virgin Mary statue, the campanile, or the Barr Street entrance.

Upon notification of an upcoming funeral, or other family crisis, the family is contacted about having a reception meal after the service/burial or food provided in the home. If so desired, the Bereavement Committee calls members on the Emergency Food Preparation team to help prepare and drop off items to the parish center.

Every year on the Feast of All Souls, November 2, the parish through our Bereavement Committee invites the relatives and friends of parishioners and others who have died in the last year to a special Mass in their honor. Please watch the bulletin in October for the time. This is a special time for outreach and giving support.
