St Peter's Children, Young People and LIGHThouse

LIGHThouse at St Peter's is still grounded but we are planning to re-open in the not too distant future! We are not sure how this will look but we will keep you updated! We hope and pray that you are coping with the new normal and that your children are settling well in their new classes at school. Please click on the link below for a back to school greeting from LIGHThouse:
