Join us at Saint Peter Church every Wednesday night for "Church Night" where we gather together for the development of our faith, for praise and worship, and for fellowship with parishioners both old and new.  
 

During the warmer summer weather here at the beautiful Jersey Shore, join us at 6:00 p.m. each Wednesday night in Pleasure Park (directly across the street from St. Peter Church on Forman Avenue) as we come together as a joyful and prayerful community.  We will pray the Rosary together, enjoy fellowship with one another (and yes, enjoy a few hot dogs, too.)  In the event of inclement weather, we will gather in Lower Kolbe Hall (located on the bottom floor of the building directly behind the Friary.)  Afterwards, please spend an hour with the Lord by joining us in the Church for Eucharistic Adoration.  

Spend some time with the Lord and join us in the Church for Eucharistic Holy Hour, with songs of praise from the Saint Peter Church Choir, a homily on the day's Gospel reading, and time for silent prayer and reflection.  7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. every Wednesday night.  

• "A Holy Hour is not a devotion; it is a sharing in the work of redemption."

• "The only time our Lord asked the Apostles for anything was the night He went into agony.  Not for activity did He plead but for an Hour of companionship."

• "During a Holy Hour we grow more and more into His likeness."

• "A Holy Hour becomes a magister and teacher. Theological insights are gained not only from the covers of a treatise, but from two knees on a prie-dieu before the Blessed Sacrament."

• "Neither theological knowledge nor social action alone is enough to keep us in love with Christ unless both are proceeded by a personal encounter with Him." 

•  "The Holy Hour becomes like an oxygen tank to revive the breath of the Holy Spirit in the midst of the foul and fetid atmosphere of the world." 

• "The most brilliant ideas come from meeting God face to face (at adoration).  The Holy Spirit that presided at the Incarnation is the best atmosphere for illumination."

• "The purpose of the Holy Hour is to encourage deep personal encounter with Christ. The holy and glorious God is constantly inviting us to come to Him, to hold converse with Him, to ask for such things as we need and to experience what a blessing there is in fellowship with Him."

• "The third reason I (kept) up my Holy Hour (was) to grow more and more into His likeness.  As Paul puts it: 'We are transfigured into His likeness, from splendor to splendor'.  We become what we gaze upon.  Looking into the sunset the face takes on a golden glow.  Looking at the Eucharistic Lord for an Hour transforms the Heart in a mysterious way..."
