Christ Church (Parish Church)

The Parish of Fredericton has existed since 1786, when the Reverend Samuel Cook arrived as the first Rector and established a church. The first Christ Church was built near the corner of King and Church Streets, roughly fifteen feet from the present Christ Church Cathedral. In 1854, the congregation of Christ Church (Parish Church) moved into St. Anne’s Chapel-of-Ease, which had been built in 1847.

The present Christ Church (Parish Church) was erected in 1962 to accommodate a growing congregation. It is modern in architecture, yet traditional in worship. The Parish Church continues to offer a warm fellowship that has existed for more than 200 years. Many groups and activities are available to meet the needs of our parishioners. Christ Church, above all, is a family, and we worship surrounded by members of the larger family, the People of God.
