The Peru Commission works to raise awareness of and support for the work of our priests and sisters working in Peru, to encourage fundraising, and to promote links between the diocese and the Peruvian people.

At present the diocese has two priests in Peru; Fr Gerry Hanlon, working in Iquitos and Fr Jonathan Hart in the parish of Cristo Luz del Mundo in the diocese of Carabyllo on the northern side of the capital city Lima.  We also support the work of four sisters of Mercy (RSM) working in Lima, one of whom , Sr Mildred McNamara, has been working in Lima for over forty years , having gone out to |Peru in 1969.
