Baptism
We at St Peter Catholic Church share your joy in preparing for your child’s baptism. Baptism, along with Confirmation and Eucharist, is one of the three Sacraments of Initiation, holding a unique position as the gateway to all other sacraments.
To celebrate the Sacrament of Baptism at St Peter Catholic Church, we ask that parents be registered parishioners.

Holy Orders
Is God Calling You?
“God calls each person to a life of holiness and service, whether single, married, ordained or consecrated. The Office of Vocations provides discernment opportunities, encouragement, support, education and resources for those responding to God’s call through the ministerial priesthood and religious life. We are committed to fostering an environment where vocations to the priesthood and religious life are valued and nurtured within the domestic church of the family and the local parish community.” (Diocese of Orlando, 2025)
