Thank you to all the parishioners who so generously donated items, money and time for our College Connection program. Below is a sample of some of the thank you notes we received:

To Members of St. Peters/St. Mary’s Youth Ministry,

I just wanted to THANK YOU so much for the "college connection" care package. It was so nice to receive mail, and that it was goodies made it all the better!! It is so nice to know that we still have our church community at home, thinking of us during our finals week. So thank you very very much. I

really do appreciate it a lot!

Have a great Christmas Season, Andrea Burmesch

Dear Maureen Kavanaugh and staff:

Thank you for the care package I have received on Dec. 4, 2006. It was a great surprise to see a package waiting at my doorstep. It is a wonderful feeling to know that someone is thinking and praying for you during these stressful weeks in school. The prayers included inside the package were perfect. Thanks again. Hope to see you soon to say hello, Jamie Meins

Dear Youth Ministry,

Thank you so very much for sending me the Christmas Care Package. I have to say that after all the years helping fill them, I forgot that some day I was actually going to get one. School here at Drake is going wonderful and with finals coming up time is flying. I hope to see many back at St. Peter's for Christmas Day mass. It has been a while now since I've been home. Thanks again and I wish everyone a safe and Merry Christmas!!!!

Sincerely, Zach Nault
