The Mission and Purpose Statements for St. Peter’s Women’s Ministry Council say almost all there is to say about “who we are” and “what we do”. We are a new, “homegrown” women's council which draws together the many women's ministries that have formed in our 4 years of existence in order to aid each other and to avoid “reinventing wheels” (or duplications). All of St. Peter's women are encouraged to participate in serving Christ and His Church through these various events and organization, and we are always open to new avenues of service.
