The Cathedral of St. Peter

The Cathedral of Saint Peter, in the historic Quaker Hill section of the City of Wilmington, is the Bishop's own parish and the center of Catholicism in our diocese.  It was built over 200 years ago--50 years before the founding of the Diocese of Wilmington, and continues with a small but dedicated parish community and school.  At the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, the diocese began livestreaming Sunday Mass from our Cathedral.  That effort continues today.  In 2015, the bishop, with the support of the priest of the diocese, instituted an annual special collection to support the maintenance and ministry of our Cathedral.  This year, the collection will be held on August 14 & 15.  More information is available at www.cathedralofstpeter.com and at www.cdow.org/cathedral.  We thank you for your generosity.
