What We Can Do: Listen. Learn. Pray. Act.

We are taking this moment to look at ourselves honestly. Then name and challenge the patterns of racism and bias that have characterized the dominant culture in our nation. We can do this in the ways that we pray and speak and act.

The St. Peter’s Outreach team is a group that supports efforts at the parish, local, national and international levels. At the international level, we have supported a boy through El Holgar for many years. Regionally, we have a strong partnership with the Greter Waterbury Interfaith Ministries, where we make both monetary and food donations regularly. We also work in partnership with a Department of Children and Families social worker to assist individuals and families in need, donating clothes, school supplies, household items and other requested items. We also support a Christmas Giving Tree effort, providing gifts for children who have a parent who is incarcerated.

See our web page for updates on our activities.

Several times a year St. Peter’s joins Trinity on the Green in New Haven to support their open-air ministry where 52 Sundays a year, in every weather condition, this outdoor congregation, of housed and unhoused, shares God’s compassion through community, worship and breaking bread.  We make sandwiches following our 10:30 service, then travel to New Haven to participate in worship and distribute food at the Green.

With volunteer work crews and an annual donation, St. Peter’s supports Habitat for Humanity of Greater New Haven (an affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International), which is dedicated to the elimination of poverty housing through the creation of home ownership opportunities for low-income working families. Habitat builds and rehabilitates homes in the Greater New Haven area with the goal of creating safe, decent, affordable houses that add to the revitalization of New Haven’s neighbor-hoods. We are looking for volunteers to join our work crews as scheduled throughout the year.
