Everything made just the way you'd prefer it.

But wait, there's more:
You get different kinds of cereals, coffee, tea and juice.There are delicious baked goods and they are made fresh every morning.

Don't be shy, bring your friends and family and be part of the great atmosphere at St Peter's on a Saturday.There is so much happening and you'll never be left wanting.

Outreach


The outreach programme with the Children of fire is well rooted in St Peters, mission statement.

This is evidenced by  an increase in the number of parishioners volunteering to celebrate life with these young stars, in the form of a meal provided by St Peter once a month. To share a mean, and a treat with them is an honour. The bright eye'd children love to be in a space where they are loved and cared for.
We have been richly rewarded for our efforts by the increasing integration of these children in our community. It has also been made that much  easier by our priest, Rev Jacqui Williams, who has immersed her energies into the programme.

Parish Breakfast

 When most people had returned to Johannesburg from their holidays at the end of January, a parish breakfast was held in the garden. Generously provided by members of the congregation, and bacon and eggs cooked at the eleventh hour by Vic Gaul, it was a delicious chance to relax in beautiful weather and spend some social time together.
