We are a growing, dynamic and welcoming parish of Catholic Christians nestled in Oregon's third largest city - Eugene - Home to the 2008 U.S Olympic Track and Field Summer Trials.

As one of five Catholic parishes in Eugene, we constantly aim to live, share and make relevant the Gospel message of Jesus Christ. Everyday, through word, song, and prayer, we share in the Good News of the Lord. Together as members in the Body of Christ, we rejoice and celebrate in the banquet of thanksgiving that is found in the Eucharist.

Often you will see members of our community serving those most in need. Whether working with local food banks, family shelters or homeless teens and at-risk young parents, stewardship and service to others lies at the very core of our Catholic Christian identity.

We hope you will take a closer look at our website. We've designed it so that you can discover what makes St. Peter's so special.



Understanding Scripture - Verbum Domini

I would like to tell you about a writing of Pope Benedict's that might be of interest to you. It is an Apostolic Exhortations called Verbum Domini, which means the "Word of God". The pope is giving a reflection on the 2008 world Synod of Bishops, whose theme was "The Word of God in the Life and the Mission of the Church".

Individuals often ask me scriptural questions that come up when they are reading scripture. At this time, you may not have any questions that you want answered, but I would suggest that you just go through the index to see what interests you, and then read that section. I actually think you will find plenty to catch your attention. What this will do is give an understanding of how scripture is viewed, and used, in the Church.

You can access Verbum Domini from the PDF link at the left. The index is on page 75, and will give you the different parts and page numbers, for easy access.

Good reading!
Fr. Dick
