Welcome:
Welcome to St. Peter's -- Carlton. We are a warm Anglican Church in the heart of downtown Toronto, at the corner of Carlton and Bleecker, just east of Sherbourne. St. Peter's is a place of refreshment, welcoming people who seek spiritual transformation since 1863.
You are invited to experience the love of God and neighbour, to grow spiritually, and to join in works of service to others. There are educational experiences for children, young people, and adults. Our building is a place of beauty and peace. Our people are diverse, and we are an inclusive community of believers. You are free to share in our community and to ask questions about anything.
"Glory to God whose power, working in us, can do infinitely more than we can ask or imagine."
Sincerely,
The Rev. Janet Sidey -

Our History:
The parish of St. Peter's Anglican church was founded in 1863. The church building was designed by architect by Henry Langley in a high Victorian Gothic style and officially opened by Bishop John Strachan on June 10, 1866.
St. Peter's has three large pictorial stained-glass windows. The chancel window depicts the confession of St. Peter, the south chapel window the Sermon on the Mount, and north transept window the Ascension.
The interior of the church was last renovated during the mid-1970's. On December 16, 1979, St. Peter's was declared an historic site.
Over our first 148 years, the congregation of St. Peter's has emphasized outreach to the wider church and to the community. Two bishops, 17 clergy, 14 missionaries and two deaconesses have come from this church. St. Peter's serves the local neighbourhood of Cabbagetown through donations of food, clothing, and rent subsidies, and is active in community festivities.
