St. Peter Claver's History
As you explore the many diverse and exciting ministries here at St. Peter Claver, you will find yourself wrapped in a rich history that began in 1888. Founded by German Immigrants, our parish was organized under the patronage of St. Peter Claver, a Spanish Jesuit missionary, who had been canonized that same month by Pope Leo XIII. We continue to build on the courageous faith of those that went before us as we experience a growth and excitement that, with the help of God, will carry us into the future for generations to come. To date, nearly 3,000 people are members of St. Peter Claver parish. (top)
Our Patron Saint, St. Peter Claver
Founded by German Immigrants, our parish was organized under the patronage of St. Peter Claver, a Spanish Jesuit missionary, who had been canonized that same month by Pope Leo XIII on January 15, 1888. Peter Claver was born at Verdu in Catalonia, Spain in 1581. He was assigned a missionary to Cartagena,Colombia, in South America in 1610. For the rest of his life he dedicated himself to the material and spiritual needs of the black slaves who were being imported into Cartagena from Africa. Peter Claver taught them basic prayers and tried to assure them of their human dignity and God’s saving love. In a period of 40 years, he is known to have baptized 300,000 persons. He died Sept. 8, 1654. CLICK HERE to watch a video on the life of St. Peter Claver. (top)
Bishop Sklba's Pilgrimage
Bishop Richard Sklba upon returning from a pilgrimage to Cartagena in January 2006 writes the following.
"A visit to the tomb of Saint Peter Claver, encased in glass under the main altar of the parish church on San Pedro Claver in Cartagena, Colombia, is a compelling experience of confronting all forms of racism then and now. To stand at the very window of his small bedroom where he awaited the monthly arrival of the Spanish slave ships from Africa is also a chilling realization of the horror which those boats brought to our hemisphere. One cannot engage the memory of San Pedro without the grace to confront that sin in our contemporary society as well. His ministry was one of gentle compassion and charity for he perceived that the entire society was somehow tainted with the disease." (top)
Hmong Ministries
The Hmong Commission meets the special needs of our Hmong parishioners through formation and the liturgy. They help the Hmong to become active and accepted members of our faith community and enlighten our parish with the gifts and talents of the Hmong and Hmong Culture. Find our more! (top)
