Effective July 11, 2023, there will be a few changes to our pastoral team. Most Reverend Earl K. Fernandes, Bishop of Columbus, has made the following priest appointments that will affect the Chillicothe-Waverly consortium of St. Peter in Chillicothe, St. Mary in Chillicothe, and St. Mary Queen of the Missions in Waverly:

* Father Timothy Hayes has been appointed pastor of St. Edward the Confessor Church in Granville, Ohio.
* Father Christopher Tuttle, current pastor of St. Peter in Columbus, will be taking his place as pastor of the Chillicothe-Waverly consortium.
* Father Milton Kiocha has been appointed parochial vicar of St. Pius X Church in Reynoldsburg.

We thank Father Hayes and Father Kiocha for their years of service  to our consortium, and welcome Father Tuttle!

Let us all pray for these three priests, as well as all priests in our Diocese and greater Catholic Church, during this time of transition and change.

We are excited to announce that the Catholic Foundation has generously awarded a $7,000 grant to St. Peter’s Church for a security upgrade to our campus buildings. Thanks to this grant, we will be able to install a key card system and required infrastructure to support the safety and security of our parishioners, staff, and campus buildings. The safety and security of God’s people is our top priority, and we are very grateful to the Catholic Foundation for helping us make this a reality! We are currently working with a local company to get these upgrades installed – be on the lookout for more information in the coming weeks!

(to be prayed when one cannot receive the Blessed Sacrament)

My Jesus, 
I believe that You
are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. 
I love You above all things, 
and I desire to receive You into my soul. 
Since I cannot at this moment
receive You sacramentally, 
come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You.

Amen.
