I'm New to Cathedral of St. Peter-in-Chains, Peterborough. Where Do I Start?
Welcome to the parish community! We’re so glad you’ve decided to join us. If you haven’t already, say hi to one of our parish priests, Father Tom, Father Edmund, Father Max or to Bishop Daniel Miehm. They would love to meet you.
Doors are usually open early before Mass starts. We have various ministries available in the parish so please don’t hesitate to ask any of our volunteers about ways to get connected.
Also, if you are new to the Catholic Church or returning after time away and are interested in our Rite of Catholic Initiation of Adults program, please click the above ministries link to get to our RCIA page and on-line registration form.
Here at St. Peter-in-Chains we want to know Christ, and to give glory to God. We welcome all people to our community of worship, service, and evangelization.
Rediscover faith, and a loving community.

Mass: What to Expect
If you have never been to Mass before, or if you haven't gone in a long time, we are excited to have you join us as we celebrate and worship together. We understand that it may feel foreign at first, and that some parts might seem confusing. The last thing we would want is for you to feel unwelcome during the service, so we have created a little guide for you to help you understand the liturgy a little better.
