We are delighted to welcome Fr Peter Street back to our parish community as Assistant Priest, commencing on Sunday, 14 June 2026 until 5 November 2026.
Many of you will already know Fr Peter, and we are incredibly blessed to have his warmth, wisdom, and pastoral care back among us. For those of you who haven’t met him, here is a little bit about him:
Fr Peter was born in Kurri Kurri, the youngest of two boys he was raised in Weston. Though having felt the first hints of a call to Priesthood while still at school, he decided to pursue a career in nursing after leaving high school. This led to working in nursing homes while studying. Followed by happy years living and working in Sydney. In his early twenties, Fr Peter approached the Diocese of Maitland-Newcastle about formation. Following his formation, Fr Peter was ordained to the Sacred Priesthood on the 12th of December 2014. He served the diocese as assistant priest in the Chisholm Pastoral Area, Singleton and Branxton Parishes, Moderator of the City Pastoral Region, then as Parish Priest of Forster-Tuncurry Parish. At the end of 2023 Fr Peter was granted sabbatical leave in preparation for Canon Law studies in Ottawa. Now, having completed these studies, he is happy to be back in Singleton and Branxton Parishes.
Please take a moment after Mass over the coming weeks to say hello, reintroduce yourself, and offer him a wonderful, heartfelt welcome back to the family.
Welcome back to our parishes, Father Peter! We pray for God’s richest blessings on your ministry with us.
