Saint Peter's Episcopal Church ministered mainly to the Cantonese-speaking people in Manila, in the Philippines.

[1] Familiarity and ease of using Cantonese language prompted Bishop Governeur Frank Mosher, Fr.

Studley and Lo Fo Hing to attend the South China Church General Assembly in April 1924 and thought of recruiting a Cantonese-speaking preacher.

Tsing heard of an old woman named Mrs. Leung who is a member of Guangzhou Baptist Church in China and invited her to attend the Sunday worship service at the Saint Stephen's Parish Church in the Philippines.

The name Saint Peter was adopted and the first site for worship was held at the second floor of a house at 592 Gandara corner Ongpin Streets.
