The Catholic parishes of Sts. Peter and Paul and St. Mary in Norwich have their doors open to absolutely everyone. After all, our Lord and Master, Jesus opened his arms to absolutely everyone. He gave his life to everyone. So, absolutely everyone has a shot at deep and full happiness. This is the happiness that is found when we accept the arduous journey our Lord invites us to take. Christ does not protect us from difficulty or guarantee good fortune. Prosperity or poverty, health or pain, applause or scorn: any of these may come. But He walks with us and we are with Him. Here is a deeper happiness that carries us through all sorrow.

​

Join us in the life of discipleship. Join us in prayer, the sacraments, and the Eucharist. Join us in our attempt to become a community of genuine brothers and sisters and servants to the needy world. You may find that such happiness as Christ gives is for you.

​

Not all who are wondering are lost, and it’s not a coincidence that you are reading these words…So if you are coming from afar and looking for a meaningful connection with God and other wonderers, please join us!
