ST. PETER'S CATHEDRAL
INGLIS GROUP

Note: This information was posted here March 2006,
and updated and revised March 2007.

Note: There are two branches of the A.C.W. (Anglican Church Women) at St. Peter's Cathedral—the Binney Group and the Inglis Group. These groups take their names from former bishops of the Diocese. Bishop Charles Inglis was the first Bishop of the Diocese of Nova Scotia (with episcopal jurisdiction over Prince Edward Island). He was bishop from 1787 until 1816. Bishop Hibbert Binney was the fourth bishop of the Diocese, serving as bishop from 1851 to 1887. Bishop Binney was instrumental in the establishing of St. Peter's Cathedral Parish.

The ladies of the St. Peter's Cathedral Inglis Group meet from time to time throughout the year, and undertake special projects for the parish, either activities of a fund-raising nature, or activities that are of assistance in other ways, such as brass polishing. They frequently assist the ladies of the Binney Group in providing "refreshments" at numerous parish events, meetings, etc.    Printed below are highlights from the Inglis Group Report for the Year 2006, as presented at the Parish Annual Meeting in February 2007.

      During the month of February, the ladies of Inglis Group catered the Luncheon prior to the parish annual meeting.
      On Holy Thursday, we served soup and sandwiches following the noon time Lenten service in the Cathedral with the proceeds for St. Monica's Home. Also the group helped with brass cleaning in preparation for the Easter celebrations.
      For three mornings during the latter part of June, we catered and served breakfast for those attending the three-day Atlantic Theological Conference held in the Cathedral Hall.
      On July 18, we hosted our second Strawberry Social. Thanks to the many parishioners for their continued support. Thanks also to Kathy Mossman for her assistance with the advertising of this event in the Guardian, and to all who sold and bought tickets.
      A donation of $40 was made to the St. Michael's Youth Conference.
      In September, we catered the Pancake Breakfast for the registration of children for Church School, as well as for all parishioners. Also in September, we catered a Mercy Meal in the Cathedral Hall following the funeral service for the late Norman Shama.
      In October, we assisted the Binney Group in making sandwiches for the Reception in the Cathedral Hall following the funeral for the late Helen Michael.
      Also in October, a contribution of $500 was made towards the Building in Faith Project.
      The Inglis Group assisted the Vestry by preparing sandwiches and sweets for Vestry's meeting with the three representatives from the Diocese held in November.
      On December 15, we catered and served a buffet style dinner for the Native Council. Brass polishing was done by our group during the month of December, in preparation for the Christmas Services.
