Celebrating the Installation of Reverend Francis SpencerWe are overjoyed to invite our entire church community to celebrate a momentous milestone in our parish.
On Saturday, October 24, 2026, at 3:00 PM, we will officially gather for the installation service of our new rector, Reverend Francis Spencer. This sacred ceremony marks the formal beginning of Reverend Spencer's pastoral leadership and spiritual guidance among us. It is a time to pledge our mutual support, rejoice in God's faithfulness, and look forward to the future
with renewed hope and vision.
We invite you to join us in the sanctuary as we surround Reverend Spencer and his family with our warmth, prayers, and support. This service is a meaningful opportunity to celebrate the start of his ministry and to realign ourselves with our shared mission of faith, fellowship, and service to others. If you are unable to attend, please click HERE to watch the livestream on our Facebook page.
Following the installation, please join us for a reception in the church hall to continue the celebration and welcome the Spencer family.

Altar FlowersMany thanks to everyone who has donated altar flowers over the summer. It has been so lovely having them to enhance our beautiful church. We are now entering a new season when garden flowers are less plentiful, and we could use more donors to keep this project going. There is a book just inside the church where people can sign up either in memory of someone or just a straight donation. Then one of us will contact you about the details. We look forward to your participation in keeping flowers on the altar. |

Join Our Prayer Chain CommunityAt St. Peter’s, we believe in the comforting power of shared prayer. If you or someone you love is facing a difficult time, experiencing illness, or going through a major life transition, you do not have to
carry that burden alone.
Our dedicated prayer chain ministry is ready to lift your intentions in confidential prayer. To submit a request, email your prayer needs to prayer@stpeterscomox.ca. Please indicate if you would like your request to be private within the prayer team
or shared with the wider parish community.

Donations for our Food ShelfOur food shelf is running low on several essential daily items, and we need your support to keep our shelves stocked and our neighbours supported. Right now, we would particularly appreciate donations of hearty breakfast and lunch staples like honey, peanut butter, and jam, alongside warm beverages including tea and coffee. For shelf-stable dinners and sides, we are urgently seeking grains like quinoa and rice, as well as canned food items such as tuna, salmon, vegetables, or fruit. We also want to provide comforting treats and everyday essentials, so we are collecting cookies, crackers, snack foods, and everyday condiments like ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise. Finally, we are running low on personal hygiene necessities, specifically soap, body wash, and shampoo. Thank you to everyone who's been stopping by with donations! |

Parishioner's CornerOctober rose in velvet crimson clad,
How can you smile,
Flaunting soft petals,
Swaying on spiked stem
And crooning in Fall’s deceptive sun?
Why so late October rose,
Your fragrance sharing
With a Summer that is done?
Your brothers all are in repose
Their glory dead and gone.
All is vain October rose.
Can you not see the Autumn leaves
Already gathering at your feet,
And yet you labour on?
You shame me Autumn rose,
For can it be that deep within your ken
There reigns unfathomable hope
That though you die,
You’ll live and bloom again?
idris rees hughes.
