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 include period costume soldiers as well as contemporary civic and military dignitaries. There will also be a detachment present to present a salute (rifle) in Capt Rainsford’s memory. Refreshments will be served afterwards and help will be needed setting up chairs (in the field) and with the refreshments. This event is open to ALL Parishioners as well as the public !!
