Our parish serves the Bloor and Parliament neighbourhoods of Rosedale and St. Our community is traditional, choral, inclusive:
When St Peter’s Carlton and St. Simon-the-Apostle amalgamated in 2016, it was an opportunity for both parishes to offer the spaciousness necessary to open our doors, minds, and hearts to each other. Whether you are from a different faith tradition, or none at all, you will
find a space in our parish to ask big questions, find inner quiet, and receive warm hospitality. Our worship is steeped in the Anglican Choral tradition. During the summer of 2019, our choir was invited to sing in two English Cathedrals during the summer break. But you don’t have to be a great singer to join in the worship and the choir always welcomes new choristers. SPSS is an inclusive community discerning what it means to be a follower of Jesus in the 21st century, both individually and as a community. We welcome everyone to follow Jesus by sharing his love for people from all walks of life. We make sacred space for people who identify as LGBTQ2+
We gather to worship on Sundays, Wednesdays, and for occasional special liturgies. Our 3 weekly services and 2 monthly services, each have a different feel. Our main services are Sunday mornings at 8.30 am and 10.30 am. Our 8.30 am service is a quiet spoken service in our intimate Memorial Chapel. This service uses the classic Eucharist liturgy from Book of Common Prayer. Our 10.30 am service is for music lovers and features our choir leading us through traditional hymns, psalms during a traditional Eucharist liturgy. On the second Sunday of the month the liturgy is Choral Mattins. At 10.30 am we offer Children’s Programming throughout the year.
