I met Peter while we were singing in the choir under Dr. Raymond Egan. Peter enjoyed singing and always had a warm and inviting smile. He was a wonderful person who will be missed.by all who knew him.  Rest in Peace, my friend.

I especially Loved 🥰 our October Yearly “Blessing of the Animals “ service . Fr. Peter loved all the pets! My 2 doggies Jonah & Aires surely felt the Love ❤️🐶🐕‍🦺…..   And I have Loved singing in the Choir all these years since 2008 … Fr. Peter always made the Choir feel Special that our singing. For. God  added  a lot to the Church Service 🙏⛪️.  I feel Fr. Peter is a Guardian Angel. 😇 watching  over us now at Holy Nativity Episcopal Church ⛪️. He LOVED 🥰 our Church ⛪️ Body  of Parishioners so much .

 Respectfully With Love,

Lisa Matthews and Jonah&Aires 🤗🐶🐕‍🦺

We are so grateful to have known Peter and to have been blessed by his kindness over the years. We are so fortunate to have had him in our lives and thank him for everything!!! Rest in Peace, Dear Peter. We will always love you.

This is a video of Peter's favorite prayer concluding the Sunday services at Holy Nativity.  It was recorded on his last Sunday there, March 17, 2019, from behind the altar (from the choir), so the words may be difficult to hear. The final blessing is given by Rev. Margaret McCauley. This is the text of the prayer, also known as "A Franciscan Blessing:"

May God bless you with discomfort, at easy answers, half-truths, and superficial relationships,

so that you may live deep within your heart. Amen

May God bless you with anger at injustice, oppression, and exploitation of people,

so that you may work for justice, freedom and peace. Amen

May God bless you with tears, to shed for those who suffer pain, rejection, hunger, and war,

so that you may reach out your hand to comfort them and to turn their pain to joy. Amen

And may God bless you with enough foolishness to believe that you can

make a difference in this world, so that you can do what others claim cannot be done. Amen
