Peer Ministry is a group of confirmed high school juniors and seniors who take on leadership roles in the community. In the past, the group has volunteered at House of Bread, Middlewoods Retirement Community, and ran clothing drives for veterans and their families. Along with helping in the community, the group also helps the church by running Coffee And.. after the 9:30 Mass, helping at the Christmas tree lighting, and volunteering at Soup and Bread and Stations of the Cross during Lent.
If you are interested in joining the group or for any questions, please contact Curtiss Stella at curtiss@stpatsfarm.org.
