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.

All foodstuffs brought to St Peter’s for Thanksgiving will be delivered to the Fredericton Food bank

NCD Report and Brainstorming session: A small but determined crowd met on Sunday Sept 16 to  receive our Parish’s NCD survey results and to make future plans. We learnt that our strengths have  grown stronger and our weakness have become less weak  - that is, we have improved. Most changes initiated after the first survey have borne positive results. Personal and passionate spirituality still require work as does a ‘sense’ that we pray for one another regularly. One clear element that emerged – not originating with the rector, is that we need to revisit the  idea of establishing a mechanism whereby folks visit one another intentionally and ‘on behalf’ of the Parish community. Ideas on this subject will be welcomed. Please speak with the minister or Wilfred or Sandra or Ria.
