St. Peter the Fisherman Anglican Church

The Anglican Parish of Bramble Bay is the Anglican Church for the townships of Clontarf, Margate & Woody Point. Originally the parish consist of two centres: St. Mark's Woody Point and St. Barnabas' Clontarf. In 1991 it was decide that a new worship centre be built on the land left to the parish by Miss Lillian Isles. Following the sale of both St Mark's and St. Barnabas' the parish of  Bramble Bay was formed with one worship centre . At the AGM held at St Mark's on the 9th February 1992 a ballard of suggested names, from parishioners and parish organisations, for the new worship centre was held. This resulted in the name "St. Peter the Fisherman" being selected by popular choice. On the 13th June 1993 the first service was held at the new church and on the 2nd July 1993 the church was dedicated by  the Archbishop The Most Reverend Peter Hollingworth. On Sunday the 30th June 1996, the Archbishop was officiant and preacher at the Consecration service for the church. On the 30th June 2013 the parish celebrated the 20th Anniversary of the Dedication of the church with a service conducted by Bishop Jonathan Holland, Bishop of the Northern Region and a Dinner was held at the Bramble Bay Bowls Club on the 29th June at which the  Reverend John Clarkson, who was the current Rector in 1993, was guest speaker.
