Afghan Refugee Ministry

St. Peter’s parishioners are part of an active Afghan evacuee support network. Our mission is to build community and develop self-sufficiency for Afghan evacuees living in New Hampshire. We conduct a weekly women’s program, monthly men’s program, English conversation sessions, and educational and enrichment activities for children and youth. We host regular drives to collect essential household items and gift cards, and other activities.

We welcome volunteers to participate in these activities and conduct donation drives.
