Blessed Sacrament Church   

The Iron Range Motorcycle Club Charity Ride raised $5500 for the Family Life Center! What an incredible act of generosity for the betterment of families in the community. Fr. Bill helped coordinate this charity event. Wonderful things happen when we work together! 

Welcome Fr. Peter Akudugu! Fr. Peter grew up in Garu, Upper East Region of Ghana, in a close-knit Catholic family. Initially trained and employed as a registered nurse, his vocation to the priesthood was rekindled through service at a retreat center. He later joined the seminary in Ghana and continued his formation at the St. Paul Seminary in Minnesota. Ordained in 2012, Fr. Peter has served as a priest for twelve years and is passionate about journeying with others in their faith, primarily through listening, celebrating the sacraments, and meaningful personal connections.
 
He values daily encounters with God, sees each day as a gift, and enjoys both adventure and soccer. Though he admits to being sometimes timid about new things, he is eager to grow, even exploring Minnesota sports like hockey. Grateful to be part of this Mission Field, he looks forward to evangelizing and serving with joy, hope, and generosity. Please keep Fr. Peter in your prayers and give him a warm Blessed Sacrament welcome. God is good!
