Welcome to St. Peter’s!

If this is your first time on our webpage, I want to thank you for visiting.

 

St. Peter’s was founded over a hundred years ago as Japanese mission of the Episcopal Church, however, today, people from many different walks of life are drawn to here. On any given Sunday, this usually includes married people, divorced people, and single people, LGBTQ people and straight people, children, middle-aged people, and older people, city dwellers and suburbanites, people with homes and those who live on the streets, people who live with mental illness and addiction, lifelong Episcopalians, and those new to the Episcopal Church and Christianity. We see our diverse makeup as a gift from God, one that enables us to more authentically be Christ’s Body in the world.

 

Because the experience of many in our community includes racism and exclusion, we strive to stand in solidarity with those who are still outsiders, and to be a place of wholeness and healing.

 

We are a community grounded in hospitality. We like food! Each Sunday, we gather around the altar to receive God’s hospitality in bread and wine that become the Body and Blood of Christ. Afterwards, during Hospitality Hour, the feasting continues with a delicious meal.  

 

Whether you are new to St. Peter’s, the Episcopal tradition, or Christianity, I want you to know that you are welcome.  I hope to have the privilege of welcoming you in person soon.

 

Until then, take good care.

 

Father Edmund Harris

Priest in Charge
