Christ Anglican Church (Englehart, Ont.)  is a church in the Northern Lights Anglican Parish (Haileybury, Ont.). 

Rev. John Leigh asked the Bishop of Algoma for work in the diocese in 1906, and was offered a $500 annual stipend. He arrived in Englehart in April 1907 and met with Rev. R.A. Cowling of Haileybury. Rev. Leigh’s home was built immediately: a shack 30” by 14”. The first service was held April 21, 1907.

The foundation for the parsonage was laid on May 6, 1907. Fundraising for the church commenced, and in the meantime Rev. Leigh held service above the post office loaned by Mr. Robert Brittain. The church was dedicated in September of the same year.

In 1950, St. Luke's Anglican Church (Hanbury, Ont.) was donated to the congregation of Englehart. Materials from the church were used to renovate the floor, roof, insulation, and wiring. The church building underwent renovations again in 1959 which included the addition of a vestry, storage units, and a rear stairway. Christ Church celebrated the 65th anniversary of the parish at a service of thanksgiving and re-dedication on September 28, 1972.  In the same year a renovation project was undertaken to complete the interior of the church, enlarge the kitchen, refurbish the downstairs hall, and create a new church office and vestry.

Christ Anglican Church (Englehart, Ont.) was consecrated on October 27, 1985 by the Right Rev. Leslie Peterson, Bishop of Algoma.

Incumbents have included: Rev. John Leigh (1907-?), Rev. Edward Francis Pinnington (1911-1912), Rev. James Templeton (1919-1921), Rev. Christopher Lord (1924-1927), Rev. Frederick Elmer Jewell (1932-1937), Rev. Arthur Preston Scott (1936).

St. Faith’s Anglican Church (Charlton, Ont.) is located within the multi-point Northern Lights Anglican Parish (Haileybury, Ont.).

Rev. John Leigh arrived in what would be known as the Northern Lights Anglican Parish in 1907, working out of Englehart. He was able to hold a Sunday service every two weeks in Charlton in the parlour of the hotel. Land was received in 1909 to be used for a church and house.  The church was open for use and had its first service in 1911, complete with a Sunday School organized by Mrs. Leigh and with Mrs. E. W. White as superintendent and teacher. In 1919 the inside of the church was completed, and in 1922 the Women’s Auxiliary was formed.

The whole of Charlton burned in a fire on October 4, 1922 and most of the church records, specifically the vestry books and minutes, were destroyed. A new church was built in 1923. The new church had a wood foundation, no basement, and was heated with a barrel stove.

St. James’ Anglican Church (Cobalt, Ont.) is part of the multi-point Northern Lights Anglican Parish (Haileybury, Ont.).

The Anglican congregation in Cobalt started with Rev. R.A. Cowling of Haileybury and the Rev. George Thornelow, Bishop of Algoma, visiting the pioneer town in December 1905. Church services were held in the Cobalt schoolhouse with Mr. Cowley coming from Haileybury.

The Mining Corporation assisted in purchasing the property for what would become St. James’ Anglican Church. The church was constructed with utilitarian design, the rock of the hill serving as its foundation. Over time the church has been strengthened with steel beams and a cement foundation. The church was opened August 19, 1906 by Bishop Thorneloe and Bishop Montgomery of the S.P.G. A chancel was added in 1909 to accommodate the larger congregation.

Rectors and incumbents have included: Mr. H.J. Richard (catechist) (1906), Mr. W.E. Philips (catechist) (1906-1907), Mr. R.C. Bartels (1907), Mr. M.S. Banewel (1907), Rev. E.P.S. Spencer (1907-1911).

St. John the Evangelist (New Liskeard, Ont.) is part of the multi-point Northern Lights Anglican Parish (Haileybury, Ont.).

The first Anglican services in New Liskeard were read by layman Paul Cobbold on November 5, 1853.  By 1893 services were being held at the home of William Murray and Anne Beavis.

The first Anglican church in New Liskeard was built in 1899 at the corner of Rebecca and Elm streets in New Liskeard. This building was done as the bare-minimum, meeting a grant deadline. It was gradually outfitted with an altar, seats, altar rail, vestry, entrance porch, lectern, reading desk, hymn books, organ belfry and bell, chancel chair, stove and chimney between 1902 and 1904. In 1906 the parsonage was built, which was then damaged in a small fire in 1923 and was rebuilt and enlarged until the new rectory was built in 1941. Following the dismantling of the old building a new modern rectory was built on the same lot in 1967.The church had electric lights installed in 1907 and was gifted a new clock in 1908 by Mr. James Redpath.

The church bought three lots in 1911 with the hopes of building a new church to accommodate the population distribution change after the railroad was built. With the delay caused by the First World War, the lots were becoming expensive and unused. The lots were not sold until 1928 when two new lots were donated by Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Cole. In October 1930 the new church was completed and opened on November 5. St. John the Evangelist Anglican Church was consecrated on June 24, 1941 by Bishop George Kingston. In 1944 an altar built and carved by one of the parishioners was dedicated.

Between 1915 and 1920 women were increasingly involved in the vestry meetings, and the proposal for their right to vote in these meetings was brought up multiple times, but never seemed to be carried to its end. In 1920 the Synod confirmed the women’s right to vote in the vestry meetings. . 

In 1981 the congregation of St. John the Evangelist unanimously decided to proceed with a total restoration of the church which would see interior plaster repaired, cracks fixed, a new ceiling and stained glass window installed, and repairs to exterior brickwork. The renovations took approximately 12 weeks and the church reopened in September 1981 following the repairs.

Incumbents have included: Rev. H. Robinson Codd (1900-1904), Mr. E. C. Southey (catechist) (1903-1904), Mr. H. E. Dunn (catechist) (1904), Rev. Gowan Gillmor (1904), Rev. R. A. Cowling (1904-1905), Rev. A. P. Banks (1905-1906), Rev. W. G. Swainson (1906), Rev. A. T. Lowe (1906-1911),  Rev. J. B. Lindsell (1911-1914), Mr. Statham (1914), Cannon H. A. Sims (1914-1915), Rev.

St. Luke's Anglican Church (Hanbury, Ont.) is part of the multi-point Northern Lights Anglican Parish (Haileybury, Ont.). The township has been referred to with two names: Hanbury and Harley. Officially, it is the Harley Township. The confusion in the records comes from the post office being named Hanbury, and local settlers adopting that name. 

St. Luke's was near completion in 1905. The congregation hoped to have it finished and ready for service in spring. This first building burned in the 1922 fire, which burned much of the Northern Lights Anglican Parish. The new church building was moved to a new site; it's opening service was on October 11, 1925. 

The church fell into disuse in 1947. In 1950 a meeting was held to determine what should be done with the building and its furnishings. With the approval of the Bishop of Algoma, St. Luke's was given to the congregation at Englehart, Ont; the materials were used to renovate Christ Anglican Church's floor, roof, insulation, and wiring.

St. Paul's Anglican Church (Elk Lake, Ont.) is part of the multi-point Northern Lights Anglican Parish (Haileybury, Ont.). 

The first service of what would become St. Paul's Anglican Church was held in June, 1908 in the basement of the Grand View Hotel. The church building was opened on July 18, 1909 by the Bishop of Algoma, and was unfortunately burned down only one month later on August 22, 1909. The church was rebuilt and opened December 5, 1909. The building was continually worked on through 1910 and 1911: the interior walls and floors were finished, and a chimney, pulpit, lectern, prayer desk, reredos, and roodscreen were all installed. 

By 1917, the Elk Lake mission had been closed for about a year. The Archbishop visited in December 1916 and tried to renew interest and zeal in the congregation to get the church operating again. 

Incumbents have included: Rev. Goodchild (?-1910), Rev. H. Bruce (1910-?),Rev. Robert Sawyer (?-1918), Mr. Cyril Goodier (student) (1918-1922), Mr. Cyril Stone (student) (1923), Mr. Ernest Reeves (1923-1925).

St. Paul’s Anglican Church (Haileybury, Ont.) is part of the multi-point Northern Lights Anglican Parish.

What would become St. Paul’s Anglican Church was started with help from Rev. Gowan Gilmor, his first visit being in May 1889 and the subsequent visit of Bishop Sullivan in 1890 at Rev. Gilmor’s suggestion. In 1893 the Anglican church was officially present when the bishop appointed Paul A. Cobbald as the area’s licensed Lay Reader. In the early years he gave services in the people’s homes. 

In 1894 the land for the church was turned over to the diocese.  Bishop Sullivan commented on the property saying, "That which there could not be better."  The foundation stone was laid September 30, 1894.  The stone walls were completed in 1906, made from saffron coloured limestone from a nearby quarry on Burnt Island. Progress on the church was slow, but the first service was held in it on June 18, 1899.  Bishop Thorneloe consecrated the building on October 12, 1902. In 1904 the northern missions were separated from Haileybury and in 1907 the parish became self-supporting. 

A rectory was begun in 1909 and by 1911 a parish hall had been constructed. 

The Great Fire of 1922 destroyed much of Haileybury, including all of the parish's buildings. The altar cross and candles were saved along with the church's records. 

The present church and rectory were built in 1924 through generous donations from friends across Canada and in England. The formal opening of the new church occurred on February 3, 1924. The new church was built at a cost of $30,000 and included a seating capacity for two hundred.

The economic situation of the 1930s necessitated an agreement between St. Paul’s and St. James’ (Cobalt, Ont.) in which the two churches shared the incumbent and each paid half his stipend. This continued until 1946 when help was sought from the Diocese. The parish became self-supporting again in 1948.

In 1953 the porch was rebuilt to match the original plans.

In 1966 the pastoral duties were extended to include St. James’ (Cobalt, Ont.) and St. Simon’s (Temegami, Ont.), although all kept their individual parish identities.

The new building received a variety of gifts, including: stained glass window in memory of Charles Cobbald Farr from his family, the font in memory of Mrs. Probyn, choir stalls in memory of Paul Cobbald, three stained glass windows in memory of William and Margaret Lewis, bishop’s chair, priest’s chair, prayer chair, flower vases, lectern, choir cross, and organ.

Incumbents and rectors who have served St. Paul’s Anglican Church include: Mr. Marsh (student) (1889-1890), W.C. Shaw (student) (1892), Mr. Hamilton (student) (1893), Paul A. Cobbald (Lay Reader) (1893-1922), (Rev. D.A. Johnston (1894-1897), Rev. James Hickaldn (1897-1898), Rev. F.B Brittain-Storer (1899), Rev. H.E. Codd (1900-1904), Rev. R. Cowling (1904-1909), Rev. E.J. Harper (1909), Rev. J.C. Poppy (1909-1914), Rev. Francis H. Hincks (1919-1935), Rev. Richard Haines (1935-1942), Rev. John Watson (1942-1946), Rev. E. Wrightson (1946), Rev. Canon C.
