Join us as we welcome Father O'Toole and Father Archer to St. Peter Parish! Make sure to stop by the gathering space after Mass to say hi and introduce yourself!
Along with Archbishop Rozanski, we invite all of you to gather together again to experience the Eucharist—the true presence of the Body of Christ—in its fullest form.
As of July 1, 2021, the dispensation of the obligation to attend Sunday Mass for all of the faithful in the Archdiocese of St. Louis has been lifted. We understand that these continue to be uncertain times for everyone, and we want all to feel safe returning to Mass. Parishioners who are sick, homebound, immunocompromised, and gravely concerned for their health retain the dispensation from the obligation to attend Mass, which has always been the case in normal times. Mass will continue to be live-streamed for those who are unable to attend Mass in person for these reasons.

Based on the guidance of the Archdiocese of St. Louis, St. Louis County and the CDC, the following Mass protocols are currently being implemented:
- If you are fully vaccinated, you are not required to wear a mask. Anyone not fully vaccinated including children under 12 should wear a mask.
- Missals and hymnals are available in the pews.
- The holy water fonts are filled again.
- In the main section of the church, all pews are available for seating.
- In the section of pews closest to the confessionals, seating remains every other pew for those who prefer to social distance.
- The Choir will return to its regular schedule at 10am Mass in September.
- The distribution of Holy Communion via the chalice continues to be suspended.
- The distribution of Holy Communion after the 10am Mass will take place this Sunday, July 4, 11am-11:30am, but will be discontinued starting Sunday, July 11. If you are homebound and would like a Eucharistic Minister to bring Communion to your home, please call the rectory at 314-966-8600.
