Sts. Peter and Paul Parish was founded in 1948, under the direction of Bishop Joseph F. Ryan. It was the second parish to be built on the Hamilton mountain. In the fall of 1948, the school opened its doors and parish masses were held in the school gym. It was Father Joseph Wilhelm who Bishop Joseph Ryan assigned to lead this new parish of 150 families.
Now more than 70 years later our families have more than doubled, and the parish is led by Father Joe Durkacz (June 26, 2019).
Whoever you are and wherever you are on your journey in faith, you are welcome in this place.
We are an inclusive Christian community in the Catholic tradition seeking to serve God, follow Christ and change the world. Starting with ourselves. We trust in the Spirit of God who opens up new and liberating ways to experience the love of God. We are welcoming of both human experience and human diversity.
