Public Columbarium Project Update

 




We Need Your Help Finding Old Photos

Back in 1928 the Mission of Foxtrap was raised to the status of a Parish.  In that same year, Rev H.V. Whitehouse emphasized the need for us to build a new Church.  This project was lead by a Mr William Henry Batten and a Mr Stevens, both from Bareneed, with most of the work completed by free labour.


Our corner stone was laid on June 07, 1931, with the first service being held on November 27, 1932.


If you have any photos of this construction, or early days, we ask if you could email them to communications@allsaintsparish.ca of call our Office at 709-834-4501, and we can arrange scanning and cataloguing them.

Alongsiders' Monthly Prayer Schedule

External link opens in new tab or window

Our Alongsider's Team would like to make their current monthly prayer services available to you simply by External link opens in new tab or windowclicking here.  To visit all past issues click External link opens in new tab or windowhere.


Alongsiders are members of our Parish who, due to circumstances of sickness, mobility, age, etc., can not physically attend a worship service at our Church.  However, they still want to be part of the worship, and where possible, to help from home.  The Alongsiders program accomplishes this.  Each month, a service for each Sunday is prayerfully put together, similar to the in-Church service, and is then delivered to each Parishioner as part of a home visit.  A vital part of our ministry is ‘praying alongside’ our brothers and sisters in Christ.  Currently we have 14 members in the Parish of All Saints.


Join One of Our Many Ministry Teams

All Saints has witnessed many changes in our Church over the past three years, and in our efforts to move forward within our “new normal”, we are hoping to rebuild our numerous groups and ministries.  Each Team provides an opportunity for fun and fellowship.  We look forward to seeing you as a member of one of these wonderful Ministerial Teams:  Altar Guild, Communications, Eucharist Assistant, Funeral Reception, Lectern Reader, Liturgical Planner, Offertory Counter, Server (must be confirmed), Sides Person, Greeter, and many more.  Simply call our Office at 834-4501 or email us at External link opens in new tab or windowoffice@allsaintsparish.ca.  You may also visit our website at External link opens in new tab or windowallsaintsparish.ca to complete our External link opens in new tab or windowonline form, or download the form for printing and completion, which you can then drop in a collection plate or at the Parish Office.

All Saints Communications Team

We just wanted to remind you that we have a “Communications Team” in place at All Saints.  We all need to be mindful that the lines of communication must be kept open so that all information gets broadcasted by whatever tools we have available to us in our Parish.  If you feel something needs to be addressed by our Communications Team, please feel free to send us an email, and we will attempt to address it in a timely manner, or perhaps get it out there through The Candle, our FaceBook page, our Webpage, or our Roadside Bulletin Board.   Our e-mail address is External link opens in new tab or windowcommunications@allsaintsparish.ca
