Patron Saint St. Peter in Chains
This parish was originally dedicated to St. Peter in Chains.
The name refers to an incident described in Acts 12.After having had James, the brother of John, beheaded, Herod ordered Peter’s arrest.While Peter slept in prison – in double chains and between two soldiers – an angel came and freed him, led him out of the prison past two guard posts, and down the street.The angel left Peter on the corner and Peter made his way to the house of John Mark’s mother, where a number of believers were assembled praying for Peter’s deliverance from Herod.
The account is worth re-reading.So often, accounts of Peter make you smile.In this case, the servant, Rhoda, was so excited at hearing Peter at the door that she ran to tell the others the good news but forgot to let him in. Instead, she left him standing outside on the doorstep – not the best place for a man who had just escaped one of Herod’s jail cells, no matter how miraculously.
If you look above the statue of St. Peter over the front door of the church, you will see the original name and the date the current building was erected.
