Would You Like To Become A Catholic?
We welcome anyone interested in joining the Catholic Church. Each year we conduct two series of classes that enable people to go through the process of coming into the Catholic Church.
If you have never been baptized, we offer a series of classes that initially provide you with information to help you determine if this journey is right for you. If you choose to continue, the classes will prepare you for the Sacraments of Initiation: Baptism, Confirmation and the Eucharist.
A separate series of classes is offered to those who are previously baptized and will help prepare you to come into full communion with the Church.

The Mission Ministry at St. Peter Chanel was founded in 2002. Our goal is to present many different opportunities
for fellow parishioners to come to know Christ better through various experiences both local and overseas. We
attempt to offer “something for everyone” whether a parishioner’s available time, talent or resources are vast or
very limited. We believe, through involvement with the poor, we can all come to know, love and serve Christ in a
deeper way.

Ministry Highlight: Perpetual Adoration
Regular and Substitute Guardians Needed
678-832-1281 # 7007
adoration@stpeterchanel.org
Our Lord, truly present in the Blessed Sacrament, waits patiently for us to bring our every need and desire to Him.
If you are busy, come! If you are burdened, come!
The Eucharistic Adoration Ministry is compiling a list of people willing to substitute for a guardian for one hour. Listing is name/phone/email so guardians would have somewhere to turn if they needed a substitute. Do you have an hour to give to the Lord? Please email your contact information and indicate when you can substitute - morning, afternoon, night or weekends.
We are also in need of additional, regularly-scheduled guardians who can serve one hour per week. If you are interested in becoming a guardian for any hour, please call the Eucharistic Adoration ministry hotline or email our ministry leader.
