The Paulist Fathers have made a very generous gift of $20,000.00 to the parish of St. Peter’s. This money has been used to paint the children’s liturgy room in the parish and to pay for the new windows that have been repaired in the parish. On behalf of the parish, I would like to thank the Paulist Fathers for their extremely generous gift to the parish and their on-going support of our community. Thank you Paulist Fathers!

Thank you very much to all who donated so generously to the Family of Faith Campaign. Our confirmed total so far is $343,900 which is 119% of our $290,000 goal. All donations after $290,000 allow 75% of the amount to remain in the parish. If you still wish to donate, all cheques should be made out to Family of Faith Campaign, not to the parish. Thank you to all who have made the Campaign a success, especially the members of the Organizing Committee.
