St. Peter the Apostle Church in Carthage has officially moved into its new space, celebrating the first Mass in the structure on Christmas Eve. The space includes brand-new flooring and pews. Additionally, new cabinets were installed in the sacristy on Jan. 13, and light fixtures and a new front door will be installed in the coming weeks. Much of the work is thanks in large part to parish volunteers. Glenmary Father Don Tranel delivers his homily.
