Please contact Irene Blakley at 506-773-7767 for class times at Saints’ Peter and Paul Church.
Please prayerfully note:
We encourage all families to attend Mass regularly. The Eucharist is the most precious gift we will ever receive. Jesus becomes truly present in the bread and wine during the consecration of the Eucharist at Mass.
Please note the Mass times in the parish bulletin, posted each week on the parish website. If anyone requires a drive to and from Mass and/or Religious Education classes please reach out to the contact information below. We are always most happy to help.
Beginning October 2023 at Saint Mary's Church during the 10 AM Mass, on the first Sunday of each month, youth and children are being asked to assist during Mass.
Saints' Peter and Paul Church will continue to hold their children's Mass on the last Sunday of each month.
As we are aware, many in our community experience food insecurity therefore as an ongoing STMB Parish Religious Education project, all parishioners are being asked to bring non-perishable food items to Mass (at all worship sites) for the Community Food Bank. Children in attendance are invited to bring the items forward during the offertory procession.
If you and your family are new to our parish, please reach out, we want you to feel included and welcome in our parish!
Please contact us if your child has missed any of their sacrament years. We are here to help!
Our children are precious, they are our present and our future! There are numerous ways to assist, please contact us if you feel called to share your time, talent or treasure with our children.
