Group Leads
By the power of the Holy Spirit, Jesus is building something beautiful among us.
At Sts. Peter and Paul, every act of service, every word of welcome, every note of music, and every step in faith becomes part of His living Church.
Rooted in love and united as a Spiritual Family, our parish is a place where faith comes alive—where hearts awaken, families grow, and Christ is encountered in everyday life.
From the altar to the streets, in quiet devotion and bold proclamation, this is a community alive with joy, mission, and grace.
“Therefore, my beloved brothers and sisters, be steadfast, immovable, always excelling in the work of the Lord, because you know that in the Lord your labour is not in vain.”
— 1 Corinthians 15:58
