saints peter and paul catholic church

welcoming, eucharistic, dynamic, green, missionary and connected to our city of West Valley City


Saints Peter and Paul, rich in its diversity (presence of peoples coming from the five continents), attempts to welcome everyone: those who come for the first time here, those who come to adore Jesus (Monday to Friday), to confess or to talk with me at the office, or even that I am going to visit in their families. So, everyone is welcome in our parish family.

Our parish has made the Eucharist the Center of its life. I invite the West Valley People of God in these terms: “Dear brothers and sisters, we are invited to be and always become “Bread of Life” for our brothers and sisters within our family of Saints Peter and Paul, of our town of West Valley and our local Church here in Utah. Jesus, "Bread of Life" is with us and accompanies us in our mission to build the house of God here in West Valley".

The Holy Spirit is at work in our family of Saints Peter and Paul. Our hearts are like those of the disciples of Emmaus when they listen to Jesus speak to them of the Word of God. Our hearts vibrate and we sing and praise our God with joy. As Pope Francis says, this joy is great and is becoming more and more contagious, because Jesus Christ is with us.

We are blessed because our parish is under the patronage of Peter and Paul, two great missionaries. Two ways of making the Church, but united in the same Wonderful Plan of God beginning with Jesus Christ. We welcome the invitation of Jesus, of the Church, of the Popes (especially Francis), of our Bishop Oscar Solis and of our Bishops in the USA, to make all nations missionary disciples of Christ. In this spirit, this year, our parish organized the "Third Utah Catholic Missionary Week" (UCMW) and the “Missionary Expo 2023”.  We have now, in 2025, the Fifth Edition of the UCMW. Our Missionary Center Saints Peter and Paul and our Missionary Revue Duc in Altum are functioning. All this is to animate our parish with a missionary spirit. Another beautiful missionary experience is that with the Little Missionaries Group Saints Peter and Paul, we are celebrating the Eucharist in all their families. We have also our Missionary Group Saints Peter and Paul. The "Little Jesus-Missionary" accompanies us throughout this missionary pilgrimage.

Our parish responds to the call of Pope Francis in his second Encyclical "Laudato Si' of May 24, 2015, ON CARE FOR OUR COMMON HOME.

Through Pastoral Care of Our Common Home, we inform our community about what is going on regarding climate change. After the information, we give a formation to our brothers and sisters so that they take care and respect for creation. Our wish and hope are that the People of God of Saints Peter and Paul be good Catholics and faithful citizens to God and to our Mother Earth.

We are connected with our town of West Valley City. As Pope Francis says and according to the missionary guidelines of our Bishop, we want to be a parish “goes forth”, connected with the world, with our city. Thus, we have Arline who is the representative of our parish with the group of all the leaders of the Churches and religious denominations of our city (Interfaith Council). A beautiful organization that of all of us present in West Valley, one family of God's children with different colors that form the Rainbow of Peace and Unity.
