One of the memorial windows in the Cathedral is dedicated to Canon Elwin Malone, the third so serve the Parish, who served from 1921 to 1952. A Priest Incumbent of St. Peter's Cathedral, he was a Priest for a total of 69 years. Born in 1881, Reverend Malone passed away in 1975 and is buried in St. Peter's Cathedral (Anglican) Cemetery.
Within, St. Peter's is decorated with memorial stained glass windows down each side of the nave, in the rose window over the entrance and in the end of the chancel. Many of them were crafted in England by Kemp & Son, of London, England, one of the most prominent designers of stained glass. Just inside the entrance is an ornate octagonal holy water font. Overhead, the ceiling forms a graceful arch, supported by equally graceful carved wooden trusses and brackets. Overall, though quite small for a Cathedral, St. Peter's is quite a nice building with a beautiful interior.
As you enter St Peter's, you will find a pamphlet rack in the vestibule. In it you will discover an interesting assortment of tracts and booklets. As mentioned above, St. Peter's was founded largely as a result of the "Tractarian Movement" in Britain, and of its effect on many of the younger members of the Prince Edward Island church community. The Tractarian or Oxford Movement embodied a renewed interest in the Catholic heritage of Anglicanism. Tracts (pamphlets) were one of the primary means used to spread the Movement's teachings and beliefs; hence the name Tractarian.
On the right, as you come through the door with the statue of the Risen Christ above it, is the baptistery. The Baptistery is a memorial to Sister Theresa (daughter of William Cundall, donor of the land) of the Community of St. John the Baptist, Clewes, England.
The window beside it is in memory of the Reverend Canon E. M. Malone, who was Incumbent of St. Peter's Cathedral for 31 years. Canon Malone, a scholarly man with an excellent singing voice, was well known for his love of and work with children, as well as his belief in guardian angels. Both these themes are portrayed in his memorial window. If you are interested in stained glass, you will find in St. Peter's and in All Souls' Chapel several examples of outstanding design and craftsmanship.
