Welcome to St. Peter's Parish

Only Mass of the day. Collection will benefit the Christmas Giving
Program of our sister parish, Saint Francis de Sales in Northeast
Washington.
Holiday Basket Program
Saint Peter’s coordinates the Montgomery County Holiday Basket
Program for five zip codes. The recipients of these baskets live within
our area and have been referred to us by a school counselor, a housing
counselor or a program social worker. It is our privilege to work with all
the caring individuals, businesses and faith communities in the greater
Olney area who respond to the needs of our community with such
generosity.
Suggested Items for the Food Basket:
(items can be placed in grocery bags, boxes, plastic containers, etc.)
Frozen or fresh turkey or a ham or a gift certificate ($15 - $25)
Stuffing
Gravy
Fresh potatoes, sweet potatoes or carrots
Large canned green beans
Cranberry sauce
Box bread or biscuit mix
Canned pumpkin
(fresh pies and breads o.k. for Thanksgiving but not for Christmas due
to the length of time between distribution and the holiday)
Optional:
Holiday napkins, tablecloth, candles, centerpiece, etc.
Snacks

Extra desserts, vegetables
