We welcome all who are worshipping with us during this Lenten season. 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.

A Message from YOUR Vestry: St. Peter’s Contributions: Here at St Peter’s, as elsewhere, there is the need to increase our weekly giving so as to remain economically viable. To that end, Vestry members have accepted the challenge and each member has agreed to increase their personal weekly giving by 10%. We would invite and encourage you to join us in this undertaking. St. Peter’s has played a central role in the lives of parishioners for more than 170 years. Our ability to continue with our joint Ministry hinges on our capacity to meet mounting operating expenses and a growing capital budget. Thank you for your consideration of this important request and please feel free to discuss this with the Wardens; Bob Matthews and Mary Christie, any Vestry member or Fr. Hebb.

Alert: Tombstone Scam: It has come to my attention that a company from Saint John has been calling parishioners with loved ones buried in our cemetery stating that they will be repairing tombstones in the spring. They insinuate that they have permission to do so and may even ask for advance payment. The cemetery is Parish Corporation property and not a public space – NO such permission has been requested or granted. Be aware and be very wary of supposed “improvements” to old stones, especially ones with a ‘steal of a deal” pricing.
