Father Jerry, please tell us about your family...

I was born in 1953 and raised in northeast Minneapolis.  I am of Polish descent, along with Czech and German.  I attended school at St. Cyril and Nazareth Hall and then graduated from DeLaSalle High School in 1971.  I earned a degree in History with an emphasis in Philosophy, Theology and Science at the University of St. Thomas.  I attended the St. Paul Seminary and was ordained on June 2, 1979.  I have two brothers—one living in Roseville and the other in Ramsey.  My younger brother is married and has five children.  My parents are both deceased.  My mother passed away in 2008 and that is when I inherited her dog, Rusty.

Pastoral Ministry

If you or someone you know is sick, hospitalized, homebound or has recently entered a nursing center or assisted living, please inform Sister Rita at the parish office.  We want to extend care to as many as possible, but need your help indentifying those in need.


Enrollment Open to the Public
Families who are new to Blessed Trinity Catholic School and would like to enroll for the 2011-2012 school year are welcome to do so anytime.  To schedule a private tour of the Penn Campus for preschool through grade 3, call 612-866-6906.  To schedule a private tour of the Nicollet Campus for grades 4-8, call 612-869-5200.  Or send an email message to Principal Patrick O'Keefe.  We want your child or grandchild at our parish school!


Giving Goes Green

Churches, with their heavy check volumes, were among the earliest organizations to embrace electronic giving as a way to automate contributions.  Today, electronic giving in all its forms provides convenience for frequent check writers and donation consistency for churches.  A less frequently discussed benefit of electronic giving is its positive impact on the environment.  An enormous amount of natural resources are consumed in the production, transportation, processing and disposal of paper checks.  Since the year 2000, the powerful trend toward electronic payments has already produced more than a 50 percent decline in check use.  If you are interested in setting up automatic withdrawal of your donations to St. Peter’s Church, please contact Patti DeMay at 612-767-1782, or print the Auto Withdrawal form and submit it to the parish office or via the collection basket.
