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.

A Message from Pastor Jared R. Stahler

As the call process unfolded these past several weeks, you surrounded me and Nicholas with your prayer, your support and your love. The sense of joy throughout has been overwhelming — from Call Sunday to the celebrations that followed that evening and later that week, in various parish meetings and among conversations with staff, in notes you have sent and continue to send. For me, all of this has been nothing other than a sign of the Holy Spirit moving ever anew in our midst.

Our Ministry Together in the Year Ahead

Ever since the Mass of the Resurrection for Pastor Damm last June, I’ve been urged by a variety of people — colleagues, bishops, Saint Peter’s leaders and members — to state, as accurately and definitively as possible, the expectations and mutually agreed-upon timeline for the conclusion of our ministry together; the transition to a new pastor; and Carole’s and my plans for our next adventure in our life together.
