OUR LEGACY
The legacy of St. Peter's Parish is always on the mind of its parishioners.

Since 1872, it has served many immigrant populations...Irish, Puerto Ricans, Latin Americans, Caribbeans, Vietnamese, and Cape Verdeans. It is a place of hope and blessing. Among its parishioners there is a strong sense of community and faith.

As one parishioner expressed, "It was about 31 years ago, when I stopped at a red light outside the church; I looked at the impressive stones that hold it together. I also noticed that it was the Church of St. Peter. I thought of the symbolism with the stones and that of Peter - Jesus designated Peter as the head of the Church and said to His Apostle, 'Peter, you are the rock on which I will build my church.

St. Peter's certainly has been my spiritual home. I raised my four children in the parish and have been a part of the various groups and committees that meet here. In fact, I attribute my public speaking confidence to the many gatherings we had concerning important aspects of the parish and community. I feel that I have been and continue to be an important part of the parish family."

OUR FUTURE
