 The parish community is a part of the larger community, and so we participate in the mission of the Church to build the Kingdom of God in the world. The parish participates in many different activities that encourage us to reach out to those in need, and to share in the work of bringing the Good News of Jesus Christ to all.
SAINT VINCENT DE PAUL SOCIETY
This group collects food, clothing, and other donations to be dispensed to the disadvantaged of the area who find themselves in situations of urgent need. The group meets monthly.
Chairperson: Jim Waling - email: stpeterchurch@stpeterlorain.org
FOOD COLLECTION
Our parish community supports the Lorain Family Outreach Center on Eighth Street. Food and donations for the center are collected at all Masses on the third weekend of each month. Volunteers are needed to deliver collected food to the Center.

RESPECT LIFE GROUP
Members of this group provide an opportunity for the parish and it's members to grow together by increasing awareness of Church teaching on God's gift of human life, from the moment of conception until natural death. Members meet to discuss current issues and are dedicated to providing prayer opportunities, information, and education on the issues fostering a "consistent ethic of life."
