Fellow Parishioners,
Bishop Fyfe has announced the appointment of The Reverend Colin Nicolle as Rector for the Parish of St. Peter’s Cathedral, Charlottetown, effective November 16, 2026.
Fr. Colin was ordained deacon in 2016 and priest the same year in our diocese. Following ordination, Fr. Colin was appointed Rector of the Anglican Parish of St. Mary and St. John (Summerside and St. Eleanors), where he has served faithfully for the past ten years. He has also served as Priest-in-Charge for the Parish of Alberton and O’Leary for the past year and a half. As a student he spent three summers serving at St. Peter’s and over the years has participated in special services.
He holds a Bachelor of Journalism degree and a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of King’s College, Halifax, and a Master of Divinity from the Atlantic School of Theology.
Fr. Colin is known for his dedication to ministry and active community involvement. He chairs the Summerside & Area Christian Council, advocates for transitional housing for men and women in Summerside, volunteers with Arts & Culture Summerside, and serves as a Beaver leader with Scouts Canada. He enjoys encouraging people of all ages to grow in their faith and take part in the life of the church.
We look forward to Fr. Colin and his wife Shannon joining our St. Peter’s family and community.
Many people have been involved in this process. We thank the parochial committee members: Edie Rogers, Thomas Haslam, Myrtle Jenkins-Smith, Javier Salabarria, Rory Franics, and Moe Rodgerson for their dedication to the task.
Parishioners have been thoughtful and supportive, participating in two special meetings and the development of the Parish Profile which guided the advertising, interview, and appointment process.
Special thanks to Fr. Ralph for his ongoing work as Priest-In-Charge, thereby enabling the work of the parish to continue as this next chapter in the life of St. Peter’s unfolds.
We also send best wishes to St. Mary’s and St. John’s as they now undertake the process we are completing.

Our History
The founding of St. Peter’s was directly linked to a theological and liturgical revival of the Catholic tradition within Anglicanism, known as the Oxford or Tractarian Movement. This Movement began in England in the 1830’s, and spread throughout the Anglican Communion worldwide. By the 1860’s, some parishioners of the already long-established St. Paul’s Church, in Charlottetown, had been exposed to the Oxford Movement through their travels, and wanted to erect a new church building where the teachings and liturgical observances of that movement could be reflected and practiced.
About Us
Founded in 1869 through the influence of the Oxford Movement, St. Peter’s Cathedral in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, has upheld Anglo-Catholic traditions ever since. Designated a cathedral in 1879 by Bishop Hibbert Binney, it serves as a second cathedral in the Anglican Diocese of Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. Located on Rochford Square, the cathedral is home to All Souls’ Chapel, a National Historic Site recognized for its heritage and beauty.

To be a welcoming and faithful church where people grow in faith, share God’s love, and keep the beauty of our tradition alive.
