–– Serve one another in love. (Galatians 5:13)
Dominican Republic
In 2023 an intergenerational team of 20 parishioners spend a week helping paint the Colegio Episcopal Niño Jesus school and churches in Montellano and Mozovi, and led a Vacation Bible School. On previous mission trips, we worked through the Episcopal Diocese of the Dominican Republic to help build and furnish the Niño Jesus school. This was St. Peter’s seventh mission trip since 2008; the 2019 group included three generations from one family!
–– What does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. (Micah 6:8)
South Africa
St. Peter’s helped build two homes for children orphaned by the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the Western Cape of South Africa. The first home is located in the informal settlement of Masiphumelele and was developed in partnership with the nonprofit St. Francis Outreach Trust in Simon’s Town, South Africa. A second home was built in a location close to the first home in Masi.
