Parish Thanksgiving
21 June 2024In the past more than 150 years, generations of catholics in the area have called St Peter's their home parish. Pope Francis in the Instruction on "The pastoral conversion of the Parish community," speaks of the parish as "the Church living in the midst of the homes of her sons and daughters." It is primarily a place of encountering "Christ and to have a living relationship with Him and with our brothers and sisters in the faith." The parish, as a physical reality, is a meeting point where we gather to listen to the Word of God and celebrate the Eucharist, or in the words of the Pope, "a sanctuary where the thirsty come to drink in the midst of their journey and a centre of constant missionary outreach.”
Those who have made St Peter's their home parish have built and continues to build the community by their commitment and generosity, whether that is time, talent, or financial assistance. Indeed, the parishioners have made the parish what it is. The parish depends on its parishioners for its existence, operation, and mission outreach.
