 Anointing of the Sick
If you or someone in your family is sick and in need of the Sacrament of the Anointing, call the parish office to arrange for a visit from one of the priests.  Please do not wait until the last minutes before death to call.  Also, if you or a family member is in the hospital, and wish to be visited by a priest, please call the parish office or ask that the hospital contact us.

Holy Matrimony
In order to set a date for the Wedding Ceremony, the couple must meet in person with the priest.  At least one of the parties must be a practicing Catholic, who has been Confirmed, and is a registered, active and contributing member of St. Peter Church for at least one year.  The preparation of the couple with the priest or deacon must begin at least six months prior to the wedding date.

Holy Orders
If you think that God may be calling you to be a priest or a permanent deacon, please feel free to call and talk to one of the priests for assistance in your discernment.  Visit http://www.youngstownvocations.org/ for more information about vocations to the priesthood and religious life.
