On August 25th, St. Peter’s Church is holding a Heritage Dinner at the Cobourg Yacht Club in support of their preservation and restoration campaign.
An auction will also take place at this time, with donated items up for sale to support the restoration campaign. Food is catered by the Best Western Inn and the Cobourg Yacht Club.
The tickets for this event are $60 for general seating and $120 for patio seating, both with substantial tax receipts. This dinner is the first in a series of events by St. Peter’s Preserving the Past for a Brighter Future campaign. The proceeds from this function will contribute to necessary repairs to the church.
Randy Barber, the Vice-President of the Cobourg and District Historical Society, says that St. Peter’s Church is in dire need of repair.
To achieve this goal, St. Peter’s Church is turning to its community to see the importance of both the building itself and the community services that the church initiates.
Butler said that the importance of St. Peter’s Church lies in both its current and historical value. He said that the church, built in 1818, bears great historical significance. It was designed by Kivas Tully who also designed Victoria Hall.
The church also remains relevant today with its various community programs: weekly lunches, a winter warming centre, and several choral groups.
Barber said that no amount is too small in the efforts of the fundraising and that tax receipts are available. However, St. Peter’s is looking for large sponsors and donors for upcoming events to support their efforts.
