Parish Life
Our parish life thrives with members of Saint Peter's from all walks of life. We are people of different races, nationalities, sexual orientations, and gender identities. Some of us are first generation immigrants, while other’s are longtime New Yorkers. Together, we are creatively shaping life in the city.
English and Spanish are our primary languages, both of the congregation, and reflected in our liturgies. Since 2019, we are a bilingual church. We believe that God is calling us to form a community where our diversity is considered our greatest strength, and we welcome you to join us on this journey.

Faith is rarely a flash of inspiration that comes to a person suddenly. Faith is seeded and nurtured throughout our lives by the family and friends who share their faith with us and inspire its growth with their love.

The week starts, and we all begin to work. The children go to school through the computer. It is complicated because they require the help of an adult for homework and to supervise them.

As a parent of two little children during this pandemic, the days get incredibly hectic and it is very easy to just want to get through the next lesson, the next household chore, the next diaper — and the next dinner! / Como una madre de dos niños pequeños durante esta pandemia, los días se vuelven increíblemente agitados y es muy fácil querer pasar por la próxima lección, la próxima tarea doméstica, el próximo pañal -- y la próxima cena!

Pat Almonrode, Susan Gargiulo and Ian Ortiz have tried every risotto recipe under the sun. This is a family favorite.

Our family dinners embody the idea of faith -- complete trust or confidence in someone or something. We all have faith that the five of us will be able to sit down to a home-cooked meal and that our time around the table will be filled with conversations about our days at school/work, talk about current events, and recognizing accomplishments, both large and small.
