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.

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 104^th 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!

A warm “thank-you” to all who worked and supported the Dedication of the Rainsford Interpretive Sign dedication event on July 31^st.  Gleaner and CBC coverage were most encouraging. Our little Parish church and cemetery are now “on the map” with the citizens of the Greater Fredericton area!

 “Doors Open” by the City will include St Peter’s this year on Sept 23 – stay tuned – guides needed!

Stay tuned for the return of Parables – coming this Fall to a Parish hall near you!
