St. Peter's Cathedral Church service registers

  • CA PEI SPCA 900-21
  • Series
  • 1869-2007

The service registers series consists of official listings of all services held in St. Peter's Cathedral Church and All Souls' Chapel from the start of services on 13 June 1869. The registers normally note number of congregants, numbers receiving communion, hymns sung, and additional service notes, as well as comments about such topics as weather, special events, etc. As well, some registers, particularly in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, included pasted in copies of correspondence, newspaper clippings, copies of annual reports, and other documents. The registers, therefore, contain a great deal of information about church activities beyond specific services.

St. Peter's Cathedral Church service bulletins, programmes, and leaflets

  • CA PEI SPCA 900-20
  • Series
  • 1869-2019

The service bulletins series consists of bulletins, programmes, and leaflets prepared for St. Peter's church services and other special events. The regular service bulletins include information about the order of service as well as announcements and notices for the benefit of parishioners. Special service bulletins relate to funerals, weddings, confirmations, youth programmes, concerts, and ordinations, as well as leaflets about flowers for different services.

At least one copy of every bulletin found in the backlog has been retained, but the series is not complete and there are gaps in the records over the years. This series will expand as recent bulletins are transferred from the church office to the Archives.

A small selection of bulletins are described individually, with PDF copies produced for reference, if the bulletins relate to audiovisual recordings of the services in question. There is no plan to digitize all service bulletins at this time.
