We at Saint Peter Parish of the Diocese of Lexington are a community of Catholic Christians committed to being the presence of Jesus Christ in this section of His vineyard. Under the leadership of our Pastor and the Bishop of Lexington, we strive to build a faith community that will worship together, support Christian education on every level, and serve the needs of those in the community.

We recognize that it is the Holy Spirit Who is "Building up the Body of Christ" as we work to grow in our community and live out our commitment to the Gospel.

Through our parish committees, we seek to identify and serve those in need, particularly the poor, elderly, sick, and distressed in our midst.

We are a Catholic congregation who invigorates life-relevant ministries with vibrant outreach to the diverse peoples of Lexington. Worship is the rock upon which are built habits of lifelong faith, reverence for life, and Christian service. Our presence in downtown Lexington heralds the presence of Jesus Christ through the beacon of our architecture, our gathering for Eucharist, and our hospitality rooted in service to those in need.

Saint Peter Parish's core values define our guiding principles which anchor our activities, decisions, and resource allocations.

Reverence: Inspired by our worhip space and Saint Peter, our Patron saint, we are committed to evangelizing the Gospel of Jesus Christ by word and action rooted in the traditions and magisterium of the Catholic Church.

Spiritual Formation: Commissioned by Christ, we encourage discipleship and stewardship in people of all ages through vibrant participation in Catholic education, sacramental preparation and celebration, and lifelong faith formation.

Human Dignity: Loving neighbor as self begins with valuing life, born and unborn; our preferences and priorities favor those in need of spiritual and physical care through spiritual and corporal works of mercy.

Hospitality: Embracing solidarity among the faithful and enriched by our multi-generational community, we openly and enthusiastically welcome all who seek the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
