St. Mary St. Peter

Spanish/Latin Festival

Our thanks to all those who made the Hispanic/Latin Festival a great success.  We had a few brief moments of rain, but they were short and they did not stop the celebration from continuing on!  Thank you to all who prepared the delicious foods from so many different Nations as well as the costumes and dancing.  It was truly beautiful.  

Please take a look at some of the pictures that were taken during the festivities on the Ministerio Espanol page/tab.

Thanks be to God!

The parishioners of St. Mary/St. Peter, in their loving generosity, recently sent a donation to a parish in Eastern Kentucky, an area severely affected by flood waters.  We present to you a letter from the pastor of St. George Catholic Church in Pikeville, Kentucky:

St. George Catholic Church
137 Bryan Street
Pikeville, KY 41501

Dear St. Mary/St. Peter Parish,

Thank you for your generous donation to St. George to help with flood relief.  We are a very small parish in Eastern Kentucky with 15 families, almost all of whom are over 65 years old and suffered damage themselves.  We are still trying to figure out how we can make a difference in our community!  Currently, the plan is to use donations to help purchase Visa gift cards for families that need financial assistance.  We are also looking to help get a camper for a local gentleman and his wife after they lost their home.

Thank you again for your generosity, and please remember the words of the Lord in Matthew 25,  because they certainly apply to you now: "Whatever you did to one of these little ones, you did it for Me."

God Bless You. 

We continue to pray for the people and government of the Ukraine.  We pray for an end to this unjust war.

In the spirit of our Catholic faith, our 180th Anniversary Parish Journal is dedicated to the spiritual shepherds of the past, present and future, both ordained and servants of the laity.  It is also dedicated to our advertisers and those who offered family memorials. 

This dedication includes those who will strive to keep St. Mary/St. Peter as vibrant a parish as it is today in this anniversary year of 2022.

Our dedication must include those people who immigrated to this area of Kingston, NY and who built this edifice to God and strove to share their common resources with their neighbors.

We cannot forget the generations yet to come who will worship here in faith and the Catholic traditions and call St. Mary/St. Peter Church their spiritual home.

Reservations are now being taken for our 180th Anniversary Gala on Sunday, November 20th from 2pm until 6pm at Diamond Mills in Saugherties, NY.  Please let the parish know if you will be attending. We hope to see you there!

We are now taking ads for our 180th Anniversary Journal. Please fill out the form to specify the size and content of what you would like in the journal and bring it to the parish with payment. 

If you did not receive an envelope in the mail, there will be extras in the back of the church in the vestibule that you can take home.

Thank you.

Confessions are being heard after the 4:00pm Mass every Saturday.  Please knock on the rectory door after the 4pm mass on Saturday to let the priests know you would like to receive the sacrament .
