St Peter's was the first Anglican mission to the poor of London. Work was begun in 1856 by the Reverend C.F. Lowder MA and a group of priests, all of whom were members of the Society of the Holy Cross. The Society had been founded a year earlier with the express purpose of binding priests to a common rule of life and prayer in mission service. SSC kept the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of its inception in April next year.
