EIGHTIETH ANNIVERSARY
CELEBRATION
Saint Peter's Church was opened on 2 October 1938. The Galloway
Diocese News, in its September 2018 edition, featured a story on the history
of Saint Peter's, part of which is shown below.
The Church celebrated the eightieth anniversary with three Masses and social
events. On 2 October 2018 at noon - the exact hour at which the Opening
Ceremony started - Mass was celebrated by Father
Duncan. The weekend Masses of 6 and 7 October also commemorated the eighty
years, ex-parishioner Father Stephen
McGrattan concelebrating the Vigil Mass. Both Masses were followed with
refreshments in the Parish Centre where a slideshow of over nine hundred photographs
was shown.
