Peer Ministry is an integral part of the LIFETEEN Youth Ministry at St. Peter Parish. It is a wonderful addition to the already vibrant Youth Ministry, which was started in 2003.
Each year approximately 12 members of the Youth Ministry are invited to become a peer minister, i.e. teens ministering to teens. These teens are a great role model of what a Catholic teen should be. These teens, are empowered in a meaningful way, to implement leadership techniques and blend them with spirituality they exemplify everyday.
Members of the Peer Ministry "lead by example". Although not always a popular notion, they are wiling to "step up" and lead others to do the right thing. In addition to active participation in the LIFETEEN Mass, they serve in Liturgical ministry such as Welcome Ministers, Lectors, Extra Ordinary Ministers of Holy Communion, Ushers, etc.
The Peer Ministers commit to attending Mass, LIFE Nights, Fund Raisers, and to help with Vacation Bible School & Music Camp.
