as liturgically. What this means is that traditional liturgy (services) are the

belief. We hope that you find your time in our midst spiritually refreshing and
beneficial.

Pride in our Parish: 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] see also
