Our Mission Statement

Our mission is to walk humbly and remain teachable, recognizing our need for God in all things. We strive to honor the lost and the forgotten, remembering that we are never alone. We submit to God's authority and seek to imitate the gentleness and self-control of Jesus. With hearts that yearn for righteousness, we cultivate mercy and a pure heart, knowing that these open us to God's grace and allow us to see Him more clearly. As peacemakers, we embrace our calling as children of God, understanding that the path of righteousness may lead to persecution, but we take heart, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to those who endure for His sake. In all, we aim to reflect His love and truth to the world

Easter Egg Hunt

We have received reliable information that the Easter Bunny will not be making his usual appearance at Saints Peter and Paul on Holy Saturday morning, as he has in previous years.
Instead, this year he will be hiding Easter eggs during Easter Sunday Mass. As children exit the church following the service, they will be invited to search for and collect Easter eggs to take home.
