    Happy Valentine’s Day! Love is in the air! We had a fun time this Valentine’s Day giving each patron a nice warm Snuggie blanket and book light. Hand made Valentine’s Day cards came from school children and what a delightful gift the two items made. With our cold weather so extreme this year, our guests were Read More

We wish to express our deepest appreciation to all who donated to our Annual Campaign this past fall. WE MADE OUR GOAL!!!

It is with great sadness that we relay the news that our Advisory Board Member and dear friend, John Seebach passed away on January 22, 2011 at the age of 65. What a sad way to start the new year. John became a volunteer right after he retired 4 years ago. He started out on Read More

Hello Everyone, We have been quite busy over the last few months working without an assistant, and unfortunately our website has not been updated for a while.

St. Peter’s welcomed a new group of volunteers this week. The Center for Youth, which helps young adults stay on track for a successful future, came to spend a day with us.

Several times over the course of a school year, Our Lady of Mercy Middle School comes to help. We have had a wonderful experience working with these young ladies.

Give us this day The Lord’s Prayer continues with the words “our daily bread”. St. Peter’s Kitchen offers our daily bread and more.

This month we were able to give out several pairs of new socks to those in need. Thanks to the efforts of St. Lawrence Church, The Womens Club of Pittsford and St. Mark’s Parish.

One of our guests was badly beaten this week. It was hard to look at “John’s” face as he was hit around his eyes and forehead. His eyes and under his eyes were completely hemorrhaged and the pupils of his eyes were so bright blue. It was a difficult contrast to see. He has been coming Read More

We said our Goodbyes to Tom Zamiara and Ed Giblin at the end of 2009. Both were original members and both felt it was time to resign from the Board of Directors after many years of service. We wish them all the best and thank them from the bottom of our hearts for their selfless Read More

Christmas Dinner was a delightful event. We served 89 guests with 45 volunteers helping out.

Our meal was a classic; ham, macaroni and cheese, collard greens, salad, fresh pinapple slices and assorted table condiments. Our plates were full Read More
