Saint Peter’s Catholic Church (St. Peter's Church on Capitol Hill)

Changes:

• Name:Saint Peter’s Catholic Church (St. Peter's Church on Capitol Hill)
• Website URL:https://saintpetersdc.org
• Summary:A historic parish organized in 1820 and now celebrating a bicentennial capital campaign, Saint Peter’s occupies a granite-and-marble building dedicated in 1890 (rebuilt after a 1940 fire) and has long been a “mother of churches” on Capitol Hill. Visitors will find it at 313 2nd St SE, one block from Capitol South Metro (Blue/Orange/Silver); the church opens early most days (extended hours in August), is accessible via an elevator at the left side of the main entrance, and the parish office is open Monday–Friday 9:00 AM–5:00 PM (closed 12:00–1:00 for Mass/lunch). Worship offerings include Solemn Exposition/Adoration Monday–Wednesday 6:00–7:00 PM, regular confession times (weekday opportunities, Wednesday 6:00–6:45 PM, Saturday morning/afternoon, and by appointment), and posted pastor homilies, while PrayerNet connects parishioners’ intentions by phone and online. Parish life is active for all ages—Saint Peter’s runs a separate parish school, Sunday School and Children’s Liturgy, youth and young adult ministries, small groups and a genealogy research ministry—and supports robust social-justice outreach (Haiti ministry, SOME, Food Pantry, Christ House, St. Vincent de Paul); a parish store (on-site and online) and electronic giving (FaithDirect/ParishSoft, with Flocknote communications) help fund projects such as an ongoing organ restoration.
