Prayer for Justice
Grant us, Lord God, a vision of your world as your love would have it:
a world where the weak are protected, and none go hungry or poor;
a world where the riches of creation are shared, and everyone can enjoy them;
a world where different races and cultures live in harmony and mutual respect;
a world where peace is built with justice, and justice is guided by love.
Give us the inspiration and courage to build it, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

St Peter’s is supporting a fundraiser for Rhabdomyosarcoma research in support of Cian Dankin. The St. Peter’s community respects Cian’s courageous fight and we strive to support research in hopes of a bright outcome for all diagnosed patients.
All proceeds from our upcoming Line Dance fundraiser will support Alice's Arc, a children's cancer charity dedicated to funding research. For more information, please visit https://www.alicesarc.org.

February Prayer for Peace
Let There Be Peace on Earth
Let there be Peace on earth
And let it begin with me
Let there be Peace on earth
The Peace that was meant to be
With God as our Father
Brothers all are we
Let us walk with our each other
In perfect harmony
Let Peace begin with me
Let this be the moment now
With every step I take
Let this be my solemn vow
To take each moment and live each moment
in Peace eternally
Let there be Peace on earth
And let it begin with me.
