CHRISTMAS TREE FESTIVAL 2023

Our annual Christmas Tree Festival has become a part of the island’s festive calendar. It’s back again this year – when the church will be full of beautifully decorated trees reflecting on the meaning of the season.

These trees are lovingly dressed by members of the St Peter’s Community and we’d love you to be involved.

This year’s Festival will run from December 2nd -13th and will begin with a special tree-lighting service featuring music from our friends the “Usual Suspects”.

If you’d like to enter a tree please contact Festival Organiser Mary Killmister (marykilly23@gmail.com)

RING OUT THE CHRISTMAS BELLS:

The Bell Tower at St Peter’s Parish Church will be open between noon and 11pm on Christmas Eve and again from 9am until 4pm on Christmas Day so parishioners and visitors can maintain the tradition of ringing the church bell. St Peter – along with St Ouen and St Mary - was one of the first Jersey parishes to be freed from French Occupation in 1468 and we ring the bells to both celebrate our freedom and to herald the good news of the birth of Christ.
