Fife Lake St. Michael's All Angels Anglican

In 1928 Anglican services were held in a building purchased from local Roman Catholics which had been built in 1924 and moved to the town site in 1926.

Well remembered was Rev. R. Howell an accomplished organist who would leave the chancel, walk to the organ and lead the congregation in singing.

Regular services were held until 1948 when it was finally closed.
In 1953, the little church was moved to Rockglen to serve as a Parish Hall for the Anglican Church there, and is situated next door to St. Alban's Church that is sometimes used today.

Limerick St. Margaret Anglican

In the years 1908 to 1911 the Prairie Brotherhood held services in farm homes. Once Orinoco School was built the services were held there. Under the incumbency of Rev. H. Creal, Vicar of Assiniboia, St. Margaret was built in 1917. The parsonage was built in 1923.

St. Margaret Church was dedicated May 1919. As early as November 9th, 1913 services were recorded as being held at Limerick by Rev. Wm. Cole.

Owing to financial distress and a shortage of clergymen, the congregation of Woodrow was attached to this mission as well as Palmer and Mazenod. By 1936 the mission points included Jesmond School and several school districts west of Wood Mountain, including Woodville.

In 1951 the Brotherhood of St. Francis at Assiniboia began holding the services. The church was closed and sold in 1977.

Mazenod Anglican

In the early years of the settlement, the spiritual needs of the Anglican homesteaders were met by Rev. J. Horrocks and Rev. Brown members of the Prairie Brotherhood. Services were held in homes and schools. About 1917, Anglican services were held every two weeks and Methodist services were held the alternate Sundays.

With Volunteer labour a church was built on the present site by August of 1918.

The Church was also used as a hospital during the 1918 epidemic.

The first funeral was in 1924, but there was never a wedding ceremony held in this church.

Mazenod congregation was taken over by the Limerick parish in 1933. Occasional services were conducted by the Brotherhood of St. Francis from Assiniboia. Very few Anglican families were left in this area making services almost impossible.

The building was sold to a farmer in the mid 1930's, but was later destroyed by a wind storm.

Mossbank St. Luke's Anglican

First services were held in the home of J.J. Lindsay, 1912, with the Prairie Brotherhood conducting services.

Between the years 1914-1917 the services were discontinued.

A CNR lot was purchased in 1916 as the future site of the church building. In April 1917 the mission was re-established and services were held in the Lutheran Church.

In 1918 a decision to build a church was made. The official opening was August 1919 with 72 people in attendance.

In 1933 Mossbank was joined to the Assiniboia Parish. Throughout the following years St. Luke's was without a resident minister. Service was conducted by lay readers of Assiniboia, Ogema and Chaplains/Padres of the RCAF station at Mossbank.

September 1968, saw the end. The remaining members worship at Assiniboia or Moose Jaw. In 1979 the church was sold and later dismantled.

Palmer St. Aiden's Anglican

Rev. Brown and Rev. Horrocks of the Prairie Brotherhood in the Mazenod district also served the Anglican families in Palmer during the early years.

In 1915 services were conducted by Nicholas Watson, lay reader. Services were held in Jesmond School south west of Palmer, Castlemoor School north of Melaval and in the Palmer Hall.

In 1924, Marquette School was moved to Palmer and restored, financially possible through a bequest of John Schram.

Around 1942 the Jesmond Congregation amalgamated with Palmer although it meant a 32km (twenty miles) trip for three families.

Many of the church furnishings were donations from England.

St. Aiden's Church closed its doors in 1965. The building was sold and moved away.

Rockglen St. Alban Anglican Church

About 1910 this parish consisted of a few ranchers and a couple of sheep men. Among these pioneers came a group of clergymen who were known as the Prairie Brotherhood. They set up a church and community house at Landscape near Viceroy.

The Rev. Father Leadley-Brown was one to whom the church owes a great deal. Often on his rounds he would hold a communion service at one place include a wedding, a couple of christenings and then at night would be pressed into serving as an organist for the wedding dance.

About this time the railway came to Assiniboia and the Brotherhood disbanded. A church was built in Assiniboia with a mission at Quantock. The need for a church at Rockglen was great and in 1927 Mr. Haenel donated a lot to the church. A lot of fund raising ensued. No regular services at this time.

Scout Lake St. Peter's Anglican

There had been services held prior to 1927 when it was decided to purchase the old Scout Lake School.

St. Peter's Anglican Church was the first Mission Hall of the Church of England in Canada. Members and non-members attended its services and Sunday School through the years.

The gentleman who held the position as the Vicar's Warden from 1939-42 and again from 1950-66 was Stan Hutchinson. His wife Lillian was organist.

In 1967, with a dwindling congregation, it was decided that the financial burden was too great and the building must be sold. The building was purchased and moved to a farm.

In 1968 the parish amalgamated with the Assiniboia parish and gradually the few remaining members of the Scout Lake congregation began attending services in Assiniboia or Rockglen.
