Parish Bible Study has resumed at Ste Anne’s Court Tuesdays at 3:30 p.m. This is the parish Bible Study which just happens to be held at this location and it is open to all. We are studying the challenging Revelation of St John the Divine - the last book in the entire Bible - a book filled with heavenly visions illuminated by references to the Old Testament and a text filled with unusual images.

A reminder that the Parish Wed-site has been officially launched and is to be found at www.stpeterfredericton.nb.ca

We welcome all who are worshipping with us at this Holy Season of Epiphany. St Peter's is a specifically Prayer Book Parish theologically as well as liturgically. What this means is that traditional liturgy (services) are the worshipping expression of normative Anglican, (i.e., of the Anglican Communion) belief. We hope that you find your time in our midst spiritually refreshing and beneficial.
