Welcome!
Dear Parishioners
Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Church and the Diocese of Grand Island is encouraging everyone to return to Sunday Mass on a regular basis, joining with their parish communities in the celebration of the Eucharistic Liturgy. Our Churches are every bit as safe as other public places. Come and receive the grace of the Sacraments with faith and confidence in the healing power of God at work in our worthy reception of the Body and Blood of Christ.
If you do not feel comfortable attending church we will still be live streaming 10:00 a.m. Mass on Sunday morning. If you would like a bulletin please call the parish office and let Marie or Michelle know you would like to have a bulletin mailed to you. The bulletins can be found in the back of church. The bulletin can also be found on this website, our Facebook page, and our Parish App.
Our Masses are still weekly at 8:30 a.m. Saturday at 5:00 p.m. and Sunday at 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. We will continue to live stream Mass at 10 a.m. on Sunday on Facebook for parishioners that are not able to attend Mass yet.
We still encourage our parishioners to mail your weekly contribution envelopes to our parish office, or set up online donations. If you are able to attend Mass there will be a place at the entrance of church to place your contribution in.

Restoring the Sunday and Holy Day Mass Obligation
In previous conversations with the other bishops of Nebraska and with our Presbyteral Council, it was concluded that we would restore the Sunday Mass obligation at the same time throughout the state. Recently, Archbishop Lucas, Bishop Conley and I decided that we would restore the Sunday and Holy Day Mass obligation throughout the state on the weekend of Pentecost Sunday, May 22-23, 2021.
