Cathedrals

We have two Cathedrals in this diocese! One in Halifax, N.S., the Cathedral Church of All Saints, and one in Charlottetown, PEI, St. Peter’s Cathedral.

THE CATHEDRAL CHURCH OF ALL SAINTS

The Cathedral Church of All Saints, or All Saints’ Cathedral, as it is often called, came into being in 1910. Prior to that date St. Paul’s Church in Halifax and St. Luke’s Church (on Morris St. in Halifax and destroyed by fire) served as our Cathedral. All Saints opened on Sept. 3, 1910, two hundred years after the first Anglican worship service in Annapolis Royal in 1710. In 2010 the Cathedral will be celebrating its 100th anniversary along with the 300th anniversary of continuous Anglican worship in this Diocese.

ST. PETER’S CATHEDRAL

St. Peter’s Cathedral, Charlottetown, was built in 1869 as a “Chapel of Ease” to St. Paul’s, the Parish Church. Bishop Hibbert Binney, the 4th bishop of Nova Scotia, whose Letters Patent from the Crown gave him Episcopal jurisdiction in PEI, made it his Cathedral on the Island in 1879.
