And I tell you, you are Peter,
and on this rock I will build my church,
and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it.
I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven,
and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven,
and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.
~ Matthew 16:18-19 (NRSV)

About the Event
We are so excited this year to offer Cat.Chat Vacation Bible School: Radical Ride on the Wings of Prayer. During this mystery themed VBS, the kids will be exploring the Mass and deepening their love for Jesus in the Eucharist.
Dates/Time/Location: Monday, July 8 - Friday, July 12, at 9:00 am - 12:30 pm, in St. Peter’s Margaret Woods Hall.
Drop off at 8:45 am: We ask that a parent or guardian sign children in each day for those in second grade or younger. Sign-in tables will be located in the main entry. It is important that your child arrives on time so that the program begins on schedule.
What to bring: water bottle, jump rope, ball, etc., for recess. Snacks will be provided each day.
Pick-up at 12:30 pm: We ask that when you pick your child up, sign them out at the sign-out tables. Remember to take home your child’s craft, any other
take-home items and parent handouts.
Payments: VBS payments need to be paid on or before Thursday, June 20, to make sure there are enough materials for each child. Make checks payable to
St. Peter the Apostle or pay online using GiveCentral. The cost is $40/child and includes a t-shirt..
T-shirts: T-shirts will be distributed on the first day of VBS.
Please have your child wear their t-shirt each day. Children should wear running shoes. A hat and sunscreen are suggested (applied before they come) as we will be spending time outside.
On the last day of the VBS, Friday, July 12, we will be having a special celebration. We would love to see parents and grandparents attend Mass with the children. The week will end with our traditional water fight.
