The Year of Faith

Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI declared a "Year of Faith" from October 2012 until November 2013. This is a special time for all Catholics to experience deeper conversion and to grow in understanding our faith. St. Peter's has been observing the Year of Faith in several ways, including a Parish Mission in March 2013.
