Join St. Peter’s

 “Worship with us; share the living Word of the scriptures with us; join us for fun and celebration. May we together grow in the Lord.”

Fr. Mike Sheehan, Pastor

Welcome!

We extend a special welcome to those who are single, married, divorced, gay, filthy rich, dirt poor, y no habla Ingles.

We extend a special welcome to those who are crying newborns, skinny as a rail, or could afford to lose a few pounds.

We welcome you if you can sing like Billy Joel, Fr. Mike, or like Deacon Andy who can’t carry a note in a bucket.

You’re welcome here if you’re “just browsing,” just woke up, or if you just got out of jail.

We don’t care if you’re overdressed, underdressed, cross-dressed, more Catholic than the Pope, or haven’t been in church since little Joey’s Baptism.

We welcome soccer moms, NASCAR dads, starving artists, tree-huggers, latte-sippers, vegetarians, and junk-food eaters.

We welcome those who are in recovery or are still addicted.

We welcome you if you’re having problems, or you’re down in the dumps, or if you don’t like “organized religion” (because we’ve been there, too).

You’re welcome here if you blew all your offering money at the crap tables in Atlantic City.

We offer a special welcome to those who think the earth is flat, work too hard, don’t work, can’t spell, or came because grandma is in town and wanted to go to church.

We welcome those who are inked, pierced, or both.

We offer a special welcome to those who could use a prayer right now, had religion shoved down your throat as a kid, or got lost in traffic and wound up here by mistake.

We welcome the flexible, inflexible, tolerant, intolerant, those who laughed, and those who gasped at this welcome.

We welcome seekers, doubters, bleeding hearts… and we especially welcome you!
