Come Join Us for Our Parish Retreat, Simply Live!  True Religion for the 21st Century, Fr. George Knab, OMI, October 1- 4, 2019 at Saints Peter and Paul Parish, 66 East Main Street, Hamburg NY. Religion at its best strengthens the ties that bind the human person to God, to one another and to the natural world.  Taught by Pope Francis in messages on Gospel joy and creation care, it helps Catholics meet the challenges of today in ways that give hope to the rising generations.  The parish retreat acknowledges the obstacles while presenting resources to overcome them. For more information call Mary Heist at 649-6557 or mhh1950@yahoo.com

We are excited about celebrating 175 years! We invite you to join us throughout the season to celebrate our Parish and its rich history!
