St. Peter Claver Church Mission Statement
At St. Peter Claver we are a community of faith made up of parishioners who uphold the Catholic
Tradition. We believe in a community, which supports families and children, transcending racial,
economic, and geographic boundaries for the purpose of worship, religious education, outreach
and fellowship. St. Peter Claver promotes a worship environment that is visually and spiritually
Afrocentric. The Eucharist is the source of the energy that moves us to community service and
evangelization. This is done in concert with other Christian communities under the guidance of
the Holy Spirit.

Building Campaign Prayer: O Gracious God, today we gather as a parish
“United in the Spirit”. Thank you for your love and wisdom that provides
us with the strength to work together. You always provide us with all we
need. We know that our parish needs your support to thrive and grow.
We promise to use the gifts you give us to support our parish. We ask for
your guidance about our future building needs and trust that you will give
us the answers in your time. As we journey into the future, help us
continue to work together as a family built on your gifts of faith, hope
and love. This we ask through Christ Our Lord. Amen.
Building Fund
PHASE I and PHASE II
Every member of our community of faith is being asked to
participate by completing their existing pledge or make a pledge or
contribution to the new building campaign “Building Together for Christ.”
Please review the informational brochure distributed last Sunday at Mass.
Parishioners are asked to:
• Reflect on how greatly God has blessed us as a parish
• Feel thankful for your blessings
• Prayerfully consider how your gift can reflect your gratitude to God and
Church
Not everyone can make the same size gift, but everyone
can make the same size sacrifice.
We have raised over $2 million of the $3.1 needed for PHASE I. We could not have
come this far without the help of many inside and outside our parish. May we be
filled with the same Spirit as we work to fund the remainder of PHASE I and look
forward to building a new church in PHASE II.

History Page
The Great Astronaut and Physician:
Dr. Bernard Harris MD
First African-American
to Walk in Space
Walking in the black vacuum, looking at the blue-white planet Earth more than two hundred miles below, would be a reverie for
many children around the world. This dream became a reality for Dr. Bernard A. Harris Jr. on February 9, 1995 during Black
History Month, when he glided out the gate of the space shuttle Discovery. This wonderful accomplishment made him the first
African-American to walk in space. Actually, he flew on the space shuttle twice in the nineties. Dr. Harris’ story is the epiphany of
the American dream, an amazing upward socio-economical mobility.
Dr. Bernard Anthony Harris, Jr. M.D., M.B.A., F.A.C.P was born on June 26, 1956 in Temple, Texas. He grew up on the Navajo
Nation during his formative years. Dr. Harris left the reserve later with his family and graduated from Sam Houston High School
in San Antonio, Texas, in 1974, where he was actively involved in science fairs, book clubs and other academic activities. He
obtained a B.S. degree in biology from University of Houston in 1978, and got his Doctorate of medicine (MD) degree from Texas
Tech University Health Sciences Center School of Medicine in 1982. Dr. Harris did his residency in internal medicine at the Mayo
Clinic in 1985. He later received a Master of Business Administration (MBA) from the University of Houston Clear Lake. The
physician did a National Research Council Fellowship in Endocrinology at NASA’s Ames Research Center in 1987.
In addition, Dr. Bernard Harris trained as a flight surgeon at the Aerospace School of Medicine at Brooks Air Force Base in
San Antonio in 1988 and received a Master’s Degree in biomedical science (MMS) from The University of Texas Medical
Branch at Galveston in 1996. After completing his fellowship at NASA Ames, Dr. Harris enrolled in NASA’s Johnson Space
Center as a clinical scientist and flight surgeon, where he conducted clinical investigations of space adaptation and established
countermeasures for extended duration space flight.
As mentioned, Dr. Harris journeyed into space twice. On his second mission he was the Payload Commander on STS-63 (2
February 1995 – 11 February 1995), the first flight of the new joint Russian-American Space Program. Mission highlights
included the first rendezvous (but not docking) with the Russian space station Mir, and retrieval of the Spartan 204 satellite.
During the aforementioned flight, Dr. Harris became the first African-American to walk in space – noteworthily it was also on this
flight that Eileen Collins became the first female Shuttle pilot. On this mission, Dr. Harris flew 198 hours and 29 minutes in space,
completed 129 orbits, and traveled over 2.9 million miles in total.
Dr. Harris left NASA in April 1996 and has pursued research. He occupied the position of Vice President of SPACEHAB, Inc.,
an innovative space commercialization company, where he conducted the company’s space science business. He was also Vice
President of Business Development for Space Media, Inc., an Informatics company, where he created an international space
education program for students and developed an e-commerce initiative that is now part of the United Nations education program.
On a more personal level, Dr. Harris lives in Texas. He married Sandra Fay Lewis. They have an adult daughter. The physician
enjoys flying, sailing, skiing, running, scuba diving, art and music. His mother, Mrs. Gussie H. Burgess, and his stepfather, Mr. Joe
Roye Burgess, live in San Antonio, Texas. His father, Mr. Bernard A. Harris, Sr., resides in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
