At St. Peter’s Parish, we are a living, growing body of faith, enriched by diverse ministries that reflect the vibrant life of our community. We are blessed with 54 ministries and pastoral initiatives, each a gift of the Holy Spirit, dedicated to serving the various needs of our parish and beyond, all called to be united in one mission.

However, the strength of these ministries does not lie solely in their number or diversity. It is the Spirit who has brought these ministries into being, and it is the same Spirit who will unite us and teach us how to work together as one. Like a mosaic, where each piece is distinct yet comes together to form a beautiful whole, our ministries, when united, can make our parish community more radiant and effective in its mission.

The Holy Spirit is our guide, teaching us how to support one another in practical ways—whether through shared resources, collaborative projects, or creating structures of communion. We are called to work together, not as isolated groups, but as a cohesive community that listens to the Spirit’s promptings and responds in faith. Our ministries and pastoral initiatives must be interwoven with a spirit of cooperation, ensuring that each one, no matter its focus, contributes to the greater good of our parish family. By establishing structures of communion, we create spaces for dialogue and mutual support.

We are called to respond to the Spirit’s invitation by nurturing collaboration, fostering trust, and ensuring that every ministry is aligned with the mission of building up our community. May we continue to walk this path together, knowing that the rock upon which we stand is not just a symbol of our parish but the foundation of our faith—strong, united, and ever-growing through the Spirit. In doing so, we become witnesses to the world of the transformative power of communion, reflecting the Church as the ‘sacrament of unity’.
