Prayer and Liturgy

Prayer and liturgy at St. Peter's names and celebrates God’s presence in our lives. It is concerned with giving glory, honour, praise and thanks to God. It is our loving response in word and action, to take God’s invitation to enter into a relationship with Him, made possible through the work of Jesus Christ and the witness of the Holy Spirit.

Prayer and Liturgy is planned with reference to the Church's seasons, the RE Curriculum, significant dates, feast days, Catholic Social Teaching principles and in response to global and national events.  Scripture will be the focus in most acts of worship The Annual Plan of Provision provides an overview of Prayer and Liturgy at St. Peter's.
