The Kirk Anniversary Service

Charlottetown’s St. James Presbyterian, known as The Kirk, marks its 200th anniversary this fall. The congregation formed in 1825 and completed its first building, a wooden structure, in 1831. The stone Kirk, which still stands at the corner of Pownal and Fitzroy Streets, was completed in 1878.

To celebrate this milestone and its rich heritage, the congregation has organized a series of lectures and special events. Admission is by free-will offering, and all are welcome.

The anniversary service will take place on October 19 at 10:30 am, featuring soloist Patricia Murray and a guest sermon by the Rev. Jeffrey Murray, Moderator of the Presbyterian Church in Canada.
