Our Parish Mission Statement
We are a Catholic Community where Christ’s love and forgiveness is at the centre of all that we say and do.
We recognise that we are not perfect, and like any family, there will be disagreements and occasionally conflict amongst us, but we will always try to resolve our problems. Remembering that God is never in unkindness, never in harsh words, whether written or spoken, but always in love and forgiveness.

We rejoice in the great diversity of our community and the richness that diversity brings to our Church life. Above all we strive to make everybody welcome and seek to respond to the challenges of our Christian faith together as sisters and brothers in Christ, supporting each other in times of adversity and celebrating together in times of joy, always relying on God’s love and mercy.

Parish History
The first Parish Priest of St Peter’s arrived in 1891. Father Joseph Haynes was temporarily housed at Dockhead whilst he conducted Mass in a chapel established in Paradise Street at the school of St Joseph in 1892.
The church was later built in memory of Sir Peter le Page Renouf and has continued to serve the Catholic community in Rotherhithe.
