World Day of Prayer 2026

On Thursday, March 5, 2026, St. Peter's hosted the World Day of Prayer. 

St. Peter, Quamichan hosted an ecumenical service for World Day of Prayer on Thursday, March 5. A total of 66 participants from several local churches were in attendance, including Duncan United Church, St. John, Cobble Hill Anglican Church, St. John, Duncan Anglican Church, Duncan Seventh-Day Adventist Church, and St. Edward’s Roman Catholic Church.

St. Peter’s was one of four churches on Vancouver Island hosting World Day of Prayer services this year. The World Day of Prayer is a global ecumenical movement that brings Christians of many traditions together to observe a common day of prayer each year. Through preparation and participation in the worship service, we can learn how our sisters of other countries, languages and cultures understand the Biblical passages in their context. We can hear their concerns and needs and can join in solidarity with them as we pray with and for them. In this way, it is possible to enrich our Christian faith as it grows deeper and broader in an international, ecumenical expression. This year’s WDP service focused on the hardships of our Christian sisters in Nigeria.

After the service, all attendees were invited into the St. Peter’s Church Hall for coffee, tea and treats. This gave us all a chance for fellowship with Christians of other denominations. We are all God’s children bound together by our love of Christ.
