� Heaven Meets Earth: Watch This Omar F. A. Guti�rrezGUTIERREZ: Airing this Tuesday on EWTN at 6:30 ET/5:30 CT is the story of a parish on the brink of being a statistic and how the pastor and his people have been able to turn it around. It is a story, ably told by the StoryTel Foundation and titled “Where Heaven Meets Earth: Restoring the Sacred at St. Peter Church,” that points beyond the young, vibrant pastor. It is more than merely a tale about the right ministries and good preaching. The parish stands as a testament to the power of tradition, of reverence, of a community whose sole purpose is to make sure everybody encounters Jesus.
St. Peter’s Catholic Church is located on 27th and Leavenworth is what is viewed by many in the Omaha Metro area as a rough part of town. Personally, I’ve been there many times in the evenings and have never felt unsafe, but then I only live ten blocks West and a short jog North of the parish.
