Special Projects
From time to time, special projects arise that provide the opportunity to generate funds for the parish in response to a specific need. An example is the recent addition of the statues of Mary and the Apostles that now keep watch over our children in the rear parking lot.
An unfinished project from the time of Monsignor Fusco, a deteriorating wall in need of repair, and the need to generate income to fund a new youth ministry position in the parish provided the inspiration for this memorial project which was put on the drawing board in late summer of 2007.
Parishioners were invited to memorialize or honor loved ones by the purchase of a statue or a tribute stone. Through the generosity of parishioners and friends of the Mount Saint Peter Parish, the 13 statues were memorialized, carved, delivered, and 10 of them installed to date. The final statues are set to be installed and memorial tributes are now being engraved. In addition, memorial and tribute stones continue to be sold and engraved, with the dedication set for Spring, 2009.
In addition to the payment for the statues and stones, the funds generated from this project funded the repair of the wall in the back parking lot, and the salary for a new staff position, the Director of Youth and Young Adult Ministry for the parish.
