Solid, Stable parish Leadership
Entrusted to priests from the Fraternity of St. Charles Borromeo, the Church of St. Peter and St. Peter Catholic School, are led by committed clergy from the Fraternity of St. Charles Borromeo. Unlike diocesan parishes, our clergy, live in community and are committed to serving our spiritual and temporal needs for years to come. The stability of our leadership helps us sustain our solid foundation and leaves us well situated for the future.
Our clergy our supported by a leadership team composed primarily of experienced, highly accomplished executives, entrepreneurs, and business professionals with extensive expertise in business, construction management, finance, development, marketing and human resources. Together they form a well-rounded and strategic leadership team bringing both spiritual and professional insight to the stewardship of the parish and school.
Building on a Legacy of Generosity: St. Peter's Plans for School Enhancements
The Church of St. Peter is blessed with a solid financial position and a history of generosity. The parish constructed one of the first traditional-style churches in the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis in 2008 and successfully paid the mortgage in full by 2016. Since retiring the mortgage on our worship space, the parish has successfully invested in formation opportunities, staffing, other facility needs and our plans for the future.
In addition to the strength of the parish, St. Peter Catholic School was gifted a $1 million dollar endowment to ensure it's financial stability for generations to come. This financial gift allows us to create a rich and lasting legacy of Catholic education in the Twin Cities.
Currently the parish is conducting a building study to evaluate and plan for the expansion and improvement needs of our school that has continually educated students since 1916, These plans are guaranteed to be exciting and will enhance the educational experience and opportunities for students for many years to come.
