Mission Statement

About This Cause
In 1842, the Redemptorists founded St. Peter the Apostle Parish after being asked to minister to the German speaking immigrants in this neighborhood. As the parish school, St. Peter the Apostle School opened in 1848 and has a long history of educating children in the Northern Liberties and Fishtown area. Originally staffed by the School Sisters of Notre Dame and the Christian Brothers, the school community has a rich spiritual tradition and long history of dedicated ministry to the families of this parish through Catholic education. St. Peter the Apostle School is now staffed by the Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary and dedicated lay faculty and staff. Also present on the parish and school campus is the shrine of St. John Neumann, the founder of the Catholic school system. The school community of St. Peter the Apostle cherishes the great gift it is to have this great saint of Catholic education here and we seek to continue the mission of Catholic education in his spirit into the future.
