Emma MitchellSuch a familiar church name—makes me think of our St. Peter and Paul here in Wichita. Blessings to Limassol.

Timothy BakerI recall St. Peter's on the Common here in Boston is officially "St. Peter of Alexandria" to distinguish it, but I've always admired how your Wichita church bears the full name so faithfully. What year was your St. Peter and Paul founded?

James BennettWe've got St. Peter and Paul here in Denver too—our little church on 30th Street has kept that name since 1923, never changed. How long has your Wichita church been serving?

Timothy KingWe mark our founding day on the same Sunday as this feast too, which makes it extra meaningful for us in Denver. Do your Wichita parishioners have any special traditions tied to this feast?

Mark JohnsonOur St. Peter and Paul Parish here in Pittsburgh started in 1909 with the Polish community on the North Side—never moved from 30th Street like yours, but we’ve kept the name since the beginning. How long have you had the church building at 30th Street in Denver?
