From some notes written by Constance V. Macmillan in 1986 were gleaned the following information of "The Holy Family" who played a significant role in the life of St. Peter 's. No sketch of St. Peter 's past would be complete without mention of the 'Clergy House' and the 'Holy Family' who lived therein. Situated at , it was designed by William Harris and built for the Rev. George Hodgson in 1877. Mr. Hodgson was married to one of the DesBrisay sisters — there were six of them —all but one was married — besides Mrs. Hodgson , the others were Mrs. (Canon) Simpson, Mrs. DeBlois , Mrs. Watson , Mrs. Morson and Miss Rosa DesBrisay — they were great grandaughters of Theophilus DesBrisay , the first Anglican clergyman in Prince Edward Island and they were known as the 'Holy Family'. At one time or another they all lived at 5 Grafton and were the mainstays of the Cathedral — they were Altar Guild, Binney Group and everything else, all rolled up into one — in fact, in later years it was difficult to persuade the rest of the congregation that they should contribute their time and talents to the advancement of the cathedral. These ladies were the originators of the Charlottetown 's first church bazaar and the hams and scalloped potatoes were prepared at the Clergy House. In the early days of St. Peter 's School, boys attended from the mainland and lived 'in residence' on the third floor of the Clergy House and, doubtless, were given their meals there as well. The School continued into the early Thirties, with Miss Rosa DesBrisay in charge, later joined on the staff by Dorothy Simpson Palmer — the Schoolroom was located in the area of today's modern kitchen. Those attending have vivid memories of potatoes roasting in the coal stove for recess; enjoying a holiday the day of the bazaar and the following day the left-over treats from the Tea Table; the smell of the skunk collar of Miss DesBrisay 's fur coat, when it was wet. The Woman's Auxiliary (ACW) was formed in Prince Edward Island before it began in Nova Scotia . The oldest branch in the Maritimes had its beginnings right here at St. Peter 's in 1897 — quite probably by the DesBrisay sisters. The many varied activities of the Cathedral throughout the year supplied many occasions for the sharing of fellowship and the exchange of greetings among the members of the Church family. The Cathedral Bazaar was held during the week that included special Harvest Thanksgiving Services at 8 a.m., 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. on Sunday October 12th. The collection was donated towards the Clergy Widows' and Orphans' Fund, supported by the Diocesan Missionary Board. The Bazaar was brought to a close on Tuesday October 14th with a grand concert given by the fourth Regiment Band. The Bazaar had been a big attraction in Charlottetown and the closing concert was no exception. The proceeds went towards assisting the members of the Junior Auxiliary to help in Mission work. An additional short program included an address in Indian costume by Mrs. Ross and a song by Mrs. S.C. Moore . 143
