Reverend Edmund Wood portrait

  • CA PEI SPCA PHOTO 0367
  • Item
  • 1868 - 1880

The photograph is a full-length portrait of Reverend Edmund Wood. A handwritten note on the back reads "Reverend E. Wood, St. John the Evangelist, Montreal." "Rev. Edmund Wood" is also written on the front.

Research suggests that Father Edmund Wood (1830-1090) founded the Parish of St. John the Evangelist in Montreal in 1861. He introduced the principles of the Oxford Movement to St. John’s and to the Diocese of Montreal. The parish was the first Anglican church in Canada to celebrate daily Mass and provide private Confession, and the first in Quebec to reserve the Blessed Sacrament. It is noted that St. John’s was the first parish in the diocese (and one of the first in the country) not to rent pews, in keeping with the principle that the church is open to all.

PHOTO 0308 shows the interior of St. John the Evangelist Church in Montreal.

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.
