Can you give me some basic information about St. Peter's?
Our church was built in 1887 and is a magnificent example of Italian Romanesque construction, with intricate brickwork and more than 50 stained glass windows. Our parish history however goes back more than 250 years from our founding in 1768 in downtown Salisbury. We are part of the Episcopal Church and a parish in the Diocese of Easton which covers Maryland's Eastern Shore. On Sundays our average Sunday attendance both in person and on-line averages 100 or more.
Our spiritual leader is Father David Michaud, the Rector who along with Assistant Rector Pastor Greg Harbaugh and Deacon Laura Harbaugh serve the parish. Our organist and Director of Music is James Wallace. They all lead our worship and look forward with other parishioners in greeting you when you come to worship.
