Almighty Father, one hundred years ago you summoned the faithful on the West Side of the City of Scranton-they gathered as the family of of SS. Peter & Paul Parish. Through their priest and religious sisters, throughout the decades they and their children were matured by the Good News of the Gospel and the beautiful grace of your sacraments, especially the Eucharist. Thus enlivened and transformed, they became a community, a holy people, a people steadfast in their faith, unwavering in their hope and above all, a people gracious in their service. We, the current parishioners of SS. Peter & Paul Parish, have inherited this rich spiritual legacy and we are profoundly grateful. Our prayer during this centennial year is that we remain worthy of their trust and that we continue the sacred task of unfolding the vision of a Church and a Christian life they forged so long ago. In so doing, we will honor our glorious past and be a bridge to an even more glorious and faithfilled future. Amen.
