St. Peter's Synod Evangelization Team
In December of 2022, Archbishop Hebda released his pastoral letter: You will be My Witnesses, a post-Synodal letter to help guide the parishes and faithful of the archdiocese in the coming years. Each parish was asked to form a Synod Evangelization Team (SET). Here at St. Peter’s the SET is comprised of 12 parishioners/staff members who have committed to work with Fr. Steven on implementation of synodal recommendations. The SET members will be commissioned in May of 2023. The pastoral letter is available to all the faithful at https://www.archspm.org/synodletter/
If you need to speak with someone regarding St. Peter’s SET, please reach out to Elizabeth McCanna at (651) 905-4312 or emccanna@stpetersmendota.org
