We welcome all who are worshipping with us in this Trinity
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.

Did you KNOW? As everyone has been made well aware
this is the anniversary of the 1812-1814 War (against the American aggressors).
This was the war of the famous winter
march of New Brunswick’s 104th Regiment of Foot from
Fredericton to Kingston, (Upper Canada) The Regiment became storm stayed at
Lake Temiscouta in Quebec Colony and ran very low on supplies. Lieutenant
Charles Rainsford and two volunteers snowshoed
145 kms in 48 hours and returned with a rescue party carrying food to the
200 starving soldiers! Captain
Rainsford, [Canadian hero] and his wife Deborah and three children were all
members of St Peter’s. Capt Rainsford is buried in our cemetery! [source: www.stjohnriver.org] Our
informative signs marking this anniversary and Captain Rainsford’s part in it
will be “officially” unveiled on Tuesday July 31at 1 p.m. This event will

There will also be a detachment present to present a salute (rifle) in Capt
