We are a small Episcopal Church on the banks of the Rappahannock in Port Royal, Virginia. We acknowledge that we gather on the traditional land of the first people of Port Royal, the Nandtaughtacund, and we respect and honor with gratitude the land itself, the legacy of the ancestors, and the life of the Rappahannock Tribe. Our mission statement is to do God’s Will in all that we do.

All About “The History Page”


Water Street – unknown date, possibly 1930’s. St. Peter’s on the left

This is an “old-new page” on the website at https://news.churchsp.org

Much of the history content was available until 2018 when this was a change in web databases. Due to the time spent in the process of transferring data, the history portions were left out until a later time to work on this section. That later time is now!

The History Page is available at   https://news.churchsp.org/the-history-page-2/.  Online, the menu with this page is in the header of the website at the top.

These are the current sections:

  1. General History, including facilities
  2. Photo collections
  3. Writings by Rectors
  4. Vestry Minutes 19th century
  5. Highlights by year 2013-2024
  6. Annual Parish Meetings 2011-2024

The latter two sections are new.
