St. Paul's Anglican Church

As teased in my previous post....here it is, St. Paul's Anglican Church in all it's glory!! This church is located in the Forest Bank area of Saskatchewan, which is north of the Village of Waseca.

I was hoping to find more info on this lovely church but the places I normally look are coming up with very little information. What I did find was that the church was completed in 1910 by volunteer labour. However the first service, a Harvest Festival, was held on September 19, 1909. I am not sure if that is correct or a typo. Regular services are still held here today.




We always try the door just to see, this time the front door was unlocked but the door to the main part of the church was locked. The following photo was taken through the window. It is a well kept beautiful church.

  3. Some of those graves look pretty new. I didn't know they still buried people in churchyards.

    1. I think my uncle is. My grandpa was buried in a place that had a chapel attached to it but not a real church
