I am pleased to welcome you to our website where you can find all sorts of information about our parish and what goes on here and who is involved. There is a tremendous core of parishioners who give lively witness to their faith in all sorts of different ways.  Like most parishes we are becoming more culturally diverse with new families joining us from Africa, Asia and Eastern Europe. All are welcome here.

 

As I write this introduction we are still trying to implement the suggestions raised during our parish project last year. Some initiatives have taken place with the Family group doing particularly well. Slower progress is being made in forming the parish council but that is not necessarily a bad thing. We look forward to two visits from the bishop who is coming on visitation in May and then will return to celebrate the Sacrament of Confirmation at the end of June. About 30 of our parishioners will be joining the annual diocesan pilgrimage to Lourdes at the end of July.. You can read more up to date information about all these events by looking at the recent newsletters There is much to look forward to and much to be thankful for here in St Peter's

 

You will also see that as a Christian community we look beyond our own needs.  St. Peter’s has an ongoing reputation for being generous in responding to human and spiritual need at home and overseas.   We continue to do this, in association with CAFOD (Catholic Agency For Overseas Development), and additional special projects during Advent and Lent. We also try to support our local charity for the homeless - The Wellspring  - that is based in Stockport

 

The Website gives a flavour of the variety of groups and activities in our Parish, our prayer and worship.  To find out what we are truly like, come and see for yourself.  You will be made very welcome and feel at home!
