Whether celebrating milestones such as anniversaries, birthdays, and significant events, or remembering the deceased, these masses allow families to embark on a spiritual journey together within the welcoming premises of the Peyton Centre.

Father Peyton famously described the family as a unit where beliefs and values are shared, and relational bonds are strengthened. This philosophy is vividly reflected in the family Masses at the Centre. As Mark Gallahar expressed after attending a family Mass, "It’s the best experience of Mass I ever had." He described prayer as a conversation and dialogue that enrolls and involves participants in life, making their lives richer and more meaningful. This sentiment perfectly complements Father Peyton’s renowned saying, "The family that prays together stays together."

The Peyton Centre’s approach to family Masses not only strengthens familial bonds but also deepens the participants' spiritual lives. By celebrating together, families can reinforce their shared values and beliefs, fostering a stronger sense of community and mutual support. The Centre’s focus on family unity through prayer and celebration embodies the essence of Father Peyton's vision, ensuring that his legacy of promoting family prayer and togetherness continues to thrive.
