Why belong here
St. Peter offers a rare combination in the archdiocese: a strong traditional liturgical identity with sung Masses, Gregorian chant, four choirs, Latin Mass parts, Masses ad orientem, altar boys, chanted Solemn Vespers, and Holy Communion at the altar rail — all within the Ordinary Form of the Roman Rite. The parish serves both English- and Spanish-speaking faithful with bilingual Masses every Sunday, runs religious education programs for all ages, and operates an outreach food pantry that feeds neighbors in need. If you are looking for a parish that takes both the beauty of the Sacred Liturgy and the corporal works of mercy seriously, St. Peter is a welcoming spiritual home.
