Fr. Peter Sabbath: Raised Jewish, Became A Catholic Priest

Father Peter was raised in the large and tight-knit Jewish community of Montreal, Canada. As a young man Father Peter attended Woodstock after dropping out of Boston University. He found his way to Berkeley and studied Zen Buddhism. A friend invited him to a Cistercian Abbey in Canada, where he was impressed by the chanting and prayerful atmosphere. He received the gift of faith in Jesus through the liturgy while attending a Mass. Father Peter is now a priest of the Archdiocese of Montreal.
