The Heffron Family
When we moved to Naperville 15 years ago, we immediately found a home at Saints Peter and Paul. The reverent Masses, rich Tradition, beautiful church, sacred music, and friendly parishioners welcomed us, and we found plenty of ministries in which we could get involved and meet others and serve in our community. We have found something for everyone in our home, from our preschoolers and children to teens, parents, and Grandpa. Through Religious Education, our parish school, VBS, Totus Tuus, altar servers, MOMs Group, choir, Bible studies, Councils and Commissions, socials, speaker series, a generous Mass and Reconciliation schedule, and a deep focus on the Sacramental life, we have grown in our faith and developed our closest friendships at SSPP.

Saints Peter and Paul parish has become the center of our social life through Bible studies, Fishers of Men, Religious Education, and the many other service and social opportunities offered to our parishioners. The Eucharist received at the many Masses offered at the parish is the core of our life lived in Christ. The parish also offers many hours for the reception of the Sacrament of Reconciliation in addition to perpetual Adoration. These opportunities provide the grace to continue to live as a fruitful member of the Body of Christ. The availability of priests for Anointing of the Sick and Funeral Masses is comforting during difficult times. Our Catholic faith and parish provide the guidance we need to charter the often-challenging moral environment present in today’s culture.

When stepping into Sts Peter and Paul Church for the first time, I recall having a strong sense of being home! Most of my life I was active in a different parish yet continued to feel a thirst for a greater knowledge of our beautiful Catholic faith. I felt welcomed right away enjoying the rich traditions of this holy church. Through truth, beauty and goodness of Sts Peter and Paul parish; I continue to grow in my faith. I am grateful to God and the Blessed Mother for leading me to Sts Peter and Paul Parish.

The Jurjovec Family
We love Saints Peter and Paul Church! Father Brad, and all the priests, making coming to mass truly rejoiceful for our family. The homilies are relevant to today's families and current events that we are all living through. They show true connection to the families of the parish and lead us all to be stronger in our faith. We also love that our kids get to see many of their friends at mass and look forward to the future events the parish will get to have, as we climb out of the last year. Saints Peter and Paul is such a wonderful place and we are so thankful for our parish community!

Our family joined Saints Peter and Paul parish about six years ago. What we like most about the parish is that we feel continually drawn to grow in spirituality here. Each season finds us growing deeper in our faith, either through the mass, the openness of our priests and nuns, parish programs, the parish school or the example of other parishioners. I don’t think we could have found a better spiritual home.

The Perrino Family
We have been parishioners at Saints Peter & Paul for over 10 years and feel so blessed to have such a beautiful parish to attend and raise our children in. The sense of community and deep faith among parishioners is something our family is fortunate to experience. The beauty and magnificence of the Church, the intimacy of the Adoration Chapel and various ministries that benefit so many make Saints Peter & Paul an amazing community.
