Designed by noted PEI architect George E. Baker, construction of the church began in 1890. This impressive edifice replaced an 1823 church which had become outgrown by the congregation. The church's cornerstone was laid on July 26, 1891, after which construction continued for another year and a half, culminating it its dedication on December 8, 1892.
In the church's beautiful interior one will find a a pair of triple stained glass windows, one dedicated to the sons of the parish killed in the Great War, the other dedicated to a past member of the parish.
This window is dedicated to the sons of this Parish killed in the Great War. The names of those killed are included in the dedication:
Hector Gallant
