The Altar Servers of St. Peter's Cathedral are a faithful and dedicated group who serve faithfully at the altar throughout the year. In a parish with a liturgical tradition such as that of St. Peter's Cathedral, it is especially important to have a group of faithful and well-trained servers who can be counted on to assist at services with reverence, faithfulness, and devotion.
For over fifty years the Altar Servers of St. Peter's Cathedral
were under the direction of Parish Sacristan, Paul Kays. Parishioners were
saddened when Paul passed away on March 16th, 2003. Shortly before his
death, Paul had stepped down from his position as
"sacristan". Ralph Moore succeeded Paul Kays as Sacristan, and served in that capacity for five years, until he left us to pursue theological studies leading to ordination. He is now a priest in the Diocese of Western Newfoundland. After Ralph Moore left us, Craig MacDonald and Timothy Kenney served jointly as "co-sacristans" for two years. As of April, 2010, Craig MacDonald accepted the position of Sacristan for a period of time. In March 2011, the Rector appointed David Kays as Sacristan, with Sean Bulman as Assistant Sacristan.
