Seniors at St. Peter’s

A Place for Friendship, Learning and Joy in Every Season of Life

Watch our Latest Event Replay

Welcome to the Seniors Ministry at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church. Here in Del Mar, we believe that life after 65 can be full of connection, discovery, and meaningful experiences. Whether you’re looking to make new friends, explore new ideas, or simply enjoy a good meal with others, you’ll find a warm welcome here.

Why It Matters

We understand that later life can bring challenges: staying connected, navigating health changes, or finding activities that feel meaningful. Seniors Ministry is here to help you stay engaged, active, and supported. Together, we create opportunities to learn, grow, and enjoy life in a caring community.

What We Offer

  • Community Meals

    Join us for monthly lunches and dinners, where good food comes with great company. Share stories, laughter, and fellowship in a relaxed, welcoming setting. Enjoy presentations from renowned specialists on a variety of topics.

  • Educational Talks

    Our talks cover topics that matter most to seniors, including memory care, estate planning, current events, and social justice. These sessions are informative, engaging, and practical for everyday life.

The Joy of Belonging

Being part of Seniors Ministry means more than attending events—it’s about building lasting friendships, staying mentally and spiritually active, and finding joy in everyday moments. You’ll have opportunities to learn, explore, and even share your own wisdom with others in the community.
