School Chapel
The Chapel is a special place within St Peter’s School, where many former students or people with a close association to the School choose to be married.
Enquiries pertaining to the use of the St Peter’s Chapel should be directed to the Events and Development Co-ordinator. Bookings for the Chapel are made at the discretion of the School Chaplain.
The chaplaincy is happy to extend a warm invitation to all those who wish to celebrate their marriage in the St Peter’s Chapel. The undertaking you are about to make is a sacred one and the Chapel is a sacred space which we ask that you treat with respect.
Christian marriage is not only a commitment between two individuals, it is also a gift that comes from God and is held together by the support of the community it is made in. The chaplaincy extends their support and prayer as you make this commitment to one another.
