The first Episcopal church service was held in Sitka at the Presbyterian Chapel on Thanksgiving Day in 1896. The ground was broken for St. Peter's by-the-Sea Episcopal Church in 1899 and the first service held on Thanksgiving Day of that year. The See House was built in 1905 and the Annex c1956. The pipe organ was ordered, built and
installed in 1969.
Located in the busy downtown area of Sitka, the sanctuary of St. Peter's by-the-Sea is open 24-hours a day for visitors and people seeking a moment of peace in their workday world.
One of the unusual features about St. Peter's is often pointed out to visitors and tourists. When they look up at the beautiful stained glass window near the ceiling, alert folks notice that at its center is a
Star of David.
