St. Peter's Day is a very special day in the year for our church. It is a
day set aside to celebrate St. Peter and St. Paul.
The day entails a wonderful service quite often with special guests. The altar is adorned in red as are many of our parishioners, as they proudly wear their St. Peter's t-shirts. An afternoon of food and fellowship follow service. Special thanks are bestowed upon our young acolytes as they are presented with small tokens of appreciation for their service. The annual Vicar's Award is presented to a parishioner(s) who has given of their time and talents during the year to further the mission of St. Peter's. |

St. Peter's Day has often incorporated
important celebrations. In 2005 newly built Inspiration Hall was dedicated by Rev. Ted Gulick. St. Peter's Day 2008 marked the 40th anniversary into the priesthood for Priest Associate Rev. Nick Jaeger. A mortgage burning ceremony was held to celebrate paying off the debt owed on Inspiration Hall-a huge accomplishment! This year was no exception and despite gloomy skies the dedication of "The Labyrinth" at St. Peter's of the Lakes took place in June 2011. |
