Christian nurture and education are core components of our commitment to catholic evangelism and discipleship at St Peter's, and we are blessed with a great leadership team committed to making this happen: Fr Greg Davies, National Director of Education for Ministry (EFM); Nick Browne, Chair of the Institute for Spiritual Studies (ISS); Colleen Clayton, Klingner Scholar; as well as a number of guest speakers and preachers who are generously giving of their time and expertise.
