The Path to Sainthood

“A World at Prayer is a World at Peace”, Father Patrick Peyton

On Friday, October 4, 2013, Father David Marcham will celebrate the 9 a.m. Mass at St. Vincent de Paul Parish. At 9:30 a.m. he will speak about the life and ministry of Father Patrick Peyton and his ongoing cause of canonization.

Father Peyton, who died in 1992, is buried in North Easton, and currently has the title “Servant of God,” which is the first step in the process of becoming a saint. Father Peyton is known throughout the world for his famous quotes: “The Family That Prays together Stays Together” and “A World at Prayer is a World at Peace”.

Father Marcham is the Vice Postulator for the Cause of Servant of God Father Patrick Peyton, CSC. He coordinates the Father Peyton Guild who prays for Father Peyton’s canonization and the spread of his message. 

We hope to see you there!
