The Kirk 200 Heritage Lecture Series

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.

On November 2, The Kirk 200 Heritage Lecture Series presents Joan MacFarlane and Ian Scott with “Significant People and Events in Kirk History.” The series concludes on November 16 with “The Kirk Today,” presented by Rev. Amanda Bolton.

All lectures begin at 7 pm.
