We welcome all who are visiting us for worship this Lent. You will notice that 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.

Fr Hebb has returned from his latest (Feb 27th) post-eye surgery check-up in Halifax and continues to recover. He can now lift and bend over (gently) AND most gratefully drive again! He wishes to express his appreciation and thanks for prayers offered and to Fr Langmaid, Fr McCorriston and Canon Smith for covering services in his absence. Fr Hebb wishes to thank the lay members of the congregation who, like these clerics, stepped forward to cover various aspects of parish life.
