TODAY Feb 15 First Vestry Meeting of 2009 12:30 p.m.

We welcome all visitors to our Parish this day. 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. Please pray for us!
Is there someone who should be prayed for ? Prayers can be either public (in Church) or private - in homes and the Rector's personal devotions.

Fredericton Food bank: The Food Bank asks for a focus on ‘meal in a can’ items such as canned stews, canned beans or canned pasta. Remember: the need which exists before Christmas does not go away in February!
