St. Peter the Apostle Antiochian Orthodox Church

St. Peter the Apostle AOC is a member of The Antiochian Orthodox Christian Diocese of Los Angeles and the West. O’Grady.

In 1996, a Christian community called The Carpenter’s Company underwent a very unusual transformation. The whole group entered into communion with the Holy Orthodox Catholic and Apostolic Church. In short, this Christian group surrendered its sectarian identity and converted to Orthodoxy. Under the leadership of their pastor, Dennis Corrigan, assisted by several very eager aspirants, The Carpenter

’s Company had given themselves to a rigorous period of studying the Orthodox Faith. Through imbibing the spiritual treasury of the ancient ascetical fathers and putting elements of this holy tradition into practice, this formative group became increasingly aware of the existence of the unchanged, ancient Church. After converting as a group, the pastor, Dennis Corrigan was ordained priest and three of his assistants were ordained as deacons. The community was organized as a parish of the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese (the American jurisdiction of one of the ancient churches of the New Testament, founded by the apostles) and given the name St Peter the Apostle Church. The feast-day for the church was set at January 16th, the day on which Orthodox Christians commemorate the liberation of Peter the Apostle from the chains of imprisonment. This is recorded in the New Testament (Acts 12: 6-11). Most people who explore Orthodoxy find St Peter Church to be very warm and welcome, since most of our community knows first hand how it feels to be an inquirer! Children are very much welcome and there is an Orthodox School in session on all Sundays, with a break in the summer season. There are outreaches through various groups and fellowship opportunities through the parish community, as well as classes on the faith offered by the current priest, Fr Patrick B. We hope you will be courageous; so, “come and see” (John 1: 39)!
