Cathedral” is the governing body of the
cathedral, responsible for finance,
property, support of the clergy and
congregation in the mission of the
cathedral, most often through the
committees it appoints (Parish Life,
Property etc.) and who report to it.
Vestry meets Monthly, on the third

Parish LifeThe Parish
Life Committee or PLC is appointed by
Vestry to oversee and encourage the
spiritual development and pastoral care
and outreach of the Cathedral. The
committee includes representatives from
the groups in the parish responsible for
particular ministries. e.g. the Choir, the
Sunday School, Seniors Support. As well as
backing these, the committee also provides
a place to plan for the present and future
life and growth and mission of the
Cathedral.

Sunday SchoolJesus said, “
Let the children come to me” and that is
the goal of the Sunday School at St.
Peter’s, to provide an encouraging,
educational and fun experience for the
youngest among us, who are getting to know
Christ.
