Founded in 1956, the Parish of St. Peter Catholic Church is one of the longest-standing Catholic institutions in Pacifica. Beside Sunday mass, the church offers a variety of worship, educational and recreational opportunities for congregation members, including senior's, men's and women's social groups, religious education for elementary through high school students, a confirmation program, sports teams through the Catholic Youth Organization and a choir. The parish also runs an outreach program to the sick and elderly, wherein members can pray for and take the eucharist to people living with illness and residents of local retirement communities.
