Saints Peter and Paul Catholic Church

Hopkinsville, KY

Ministries

Saints Peter and Paul Catholic Church is a vibrant community with many ministries. Volunteers serving in the following ministries serve many different facets of our parish. Please feel free to get involved in one or more ministry!

Altar Linen Society

This group serves the parish by washing and preparing the linens used during Mass. Each week a member of the society gathers the linens, launders and irons them at home, and returns them to the sacristy. If interested in serving in this capacity, please call the parish office to contact Kathy Buehrle.

Bereavement Committee

When there is funeral at the parish, the family is offered a meal in our parish hall or in their home after the funeral so that family and friends can gather together and share this meal. This committee calls parishioners to provide food, and prepares the hall and cleans up after the meal if the meal is held in the hall. If you would like to volunteer with any part of this ministry, please call the parish office to contact Rita Black.

Card Ministry

A small group of individuals signs cards and addresses envelopes to send to parishioners to help celebrate their birthdays or express sympathy. Help with this ministry is always welcome. Call the parish office if you would like to get involved.

Choir

Both the English and Spanish choirs meet on Wednesday evenings to prepare for weekend Masses, Holy Day Masses, and special events. Rehearsal times are 5:30 p.m. for the Spanish choir and 6:30 p.m. for the English choir. Many voices and musicians are needed.

Youth Ministry

Our youth ministry program is for young people in the parish from ages 12 to 18.
