The Religious Society of Friends — Quakers in the Niagara Peninsula — are a small group of Friends, who, in living their everyday lives, seek to carry out the principles of the Society. The smallness of the group allows us to know one another and to try to care for one another as a family of friends.
This Meeting is home to members and attenders from many areas of the Niagara Peninsula: St. Catharines, Welland, Port Colborne, Pelham, and Dunnville. Our group is made up of many long standing Quakers, some who are fairly recent members, as well as people who have been attending for many years and others who visit occasionally. We welcome you to meet with us; children are also welcome though we regret that we do not, at this time, have any particular programme for them.
We are an active, vital Meeting, with members who devote service to their own communities, as well as to many Quaker bodies and committees outside our Meeting. For example, one member is involved with AIDS Niagara’s project to develop an interfaith committee to facilitate spiritual counselling for people with HIV/AIDS and to provide information on HIV/AIDS to faith communities. Another member is gaining training in “Quaker Quest.” Members are also engaged with responsibilities on the Camp Neekaunis Committee, Canadian Friends Service Committee, Canadian Yearly Meeting, the Quaker Archives and Library of Canada, and Friends General Conference.
