In 1887 Nutana residents, of various denominations began holding joint services in the Little Stone School House, which was

originally located on the grounds of Victoria School.  Dedicated Anglican services began there in 1891.  In 1906 Mr. W.P. Bate

and Mr. Wiggins wrote to the Anglican bishop asking for a church in the Nutana area.  The first service in St. James' Church

took place on October 6, 1907, with Rev. H.J. Likeman as the first incumbent.   The church was a wooden building constructed

from funds donated  by a devout parishioner from St. James' Church in Doncaster, England.

In 2007, St. James' celebrated 100 years as a parish.  To honour the occasion, longtime parishioner, Mary McKay who is also our

librarian and archivist, began to write a series of articles about the history of St. James'. The series is called Many Mini Ministry

Mysteries.  Each article is listed below in pdf format.
