LITURGY & SPIRITUALITY:

 

The Mass and the Sacraments are the means by which we grow in holiness towards a deeper union with The Father. The rich variety of liturgy and the diverse forms of spirituality help us to grow strong in faith and to express our gratitude to God.  New forms and opportunities will enrich

our experience of both.

YOUTH PARTICIPATION & DEVELOPMENT:

 

The Youth of the Parish require support and further opportunities to live and to practise their faith in today's Church.  Ways and means will be explored to this end in the coming months with the help of existing and new programmes at both parish and diocesan level.

EVANGELISATION & MISSION:

The Church by its very nature is missionary. As members of the Church we accept the Father's invitation to "Go out into the whole world and baptise all nations."  The lapsed need to be encouraged and the enquirer seeks to understand and to know the Good News.  We share in that responsibility and take the necessary steps to proclaim "The Gospel of Joy", guided by the Bishop through the Diocesan Synod as a means

to reach out and in-gather.

 

 

ADULT EDUCATION & FORMATION:

 

Most people beyond Primary and Secondary education do not continue with study and reflection on Theology. However, there is a hunger at the moment expressed by Parishioners for knowledge and understanding of a variety of subjects on Church teaching.  Providing the means for further study and formation will satisfy this need in a simple, informal and satisfying way.

SOCIAL JUSTICE:

 

The Church seeks to address social, economic and political issues of the modern world in the light of the Gospel​.  As a Parish, we share in the Church's mission to bring about a society where justice, peace and love can truly be present.

ECUMENISM:

 

Ecumenism is a response to the Grace of God. 

It calls all Christians to faith in the kind of Church God wants; to hope that Jesus' prayer -

"May they all be one" - ​one day be answered in its fullness; and to charity which is the Spirit's gift uniting all believers. In St. Peter's, it is our wish to pray with and to work with the Leaders and Parishioners of Christian churches in the neighbourhood.

SOCIA​L ACTIVITY:

 

A strong, welcoming Community is very important in St. Peter's.  Parshioners should feel that they belong here and are valued.  A warm welcome and good hospitality contribute greatly to that strong sense of community.  Social events will provide opportunities for Parishioners to bond

and to form close relationships.  Families and individuals can meet with Parishioners who want to spend time with them and get to know them better.
