Fr. Peter has been with STM since 2021 and especially values the school’s commitment to forming the entire person. He appreciates the educational environment that looks beyond academics and supports the full development of each student.
The teachers who made the strongest impression on him brought humor to the classroom, came well prepared, and challenged students with stimulating lessons and ideas.
Saint Peter Claver is Fr. Peter’s favorite saint because of his ministry to enslaved Africans brought to the Americas and his dedication to serving people who were suffering.
Outside of his ministry, Fr. Peter has a strong interest in aviation. The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse is a favorite book, and the Philippines is his favorite place he has traveled.
