The church was built and consecrated in November 1904 by Bishop Thorneloe, with thanks to C. P. R. for the donation of the land. Two years later in 1906, All Saints’ joined the parish of Missanabie, ministered by Rev. S.H. Ferris.

History Biographical: 

St. Giles’ Anglican Church (Hawk Junction, Ont.) is part of the Lake Superior Anglican Parish.

The church building used to be named Northkirk Presbyterian Church and was built in 1937. The present church was dedicated on November 14, 1963.

In 1965 the church switched from a space heater to renting a gas furnace. The manse was removed.

Although the vestry originally wanted to add a basement to the church, replacing the foundation seemed more reasonable. This was carried out some time between the summer of 1970 and 1971.

In 1977 the church was repaneled and had a new front door installed. In 1979 the vestry decided to tear down the bell tower and sell the material to add to the building fund.

In 1980 the new bell tower was erected, although it is recorded that someone had shot or cut the pull rope. The chimney was replaced and rebuilt in 1981.

History Biographical: 

St. John’s Anglican Church (Schreiber, Ont.) is located within the multi-point Lake Superior Anglican Parish.

The first service was conducted in 1889 with Mr. William Evans, then a student. Shortly after they constructed a rough parsonage, which then burnt down on July 17, 1904. By 1906 a new parsonage was rebuilt. 

The first church did not withstand the elements well, and in the early 1910's, the parish began collecting funds to build a new church. The construction started in 1914, and the first service in the new building was held in March 1915 with Bishop Thorneloe present. The new church was consecrated in May 1917. By 1918, the Schreiber congregation moved out of mission status and became self-supporting. 

The church got a new roof in the 1970s.

On September 13th, Bishop Frank Nock stopped at St. John's in Schreiber and dedicated four new stained glass windows.

History Biographical: 

St. Stephen's Anglican Church (Franz, Ont.) was part of the Lake Superior Anglican Parish. In the early years, Franz was part of the Manitouwadge parish.

Services were held in Franz as early as 1915 in the local schoolhouse and private homes. During a visit by the Archbishop in June 1918, plans were begun for the construction of a parsonage and to secure a section of land from the Canadian Pacific Railway Company. Three years later, during another visit from the Archbishop, the need for a mission hall was discussed and a small piece of land was leased from the Algoma Central Railway. 

In 1953 the building's interior was renovated and transformed from two rooms to one long naive, with a small vestry at the back of the altar. 

The last recorded service was held on September 10, 1986 in the private home of Solomon Saunders. The church was dismantled and removed later that year, and its furnishings (pew and font) were moved to Surluga Gold Mines for temporary storage.

History Biographical: 

Trinity Anglican Church (Marathon, Ont.) is a church in the Lake Superior Anglican Parish.

The church building was constructed by 1948, and dedicated by the summer of that year. 

In 1975, the parish of Marathon joined the parish of Manitouwadge to form a single parish. When the Helmo gold mine struck gold in 1984 and increased its operations, the Marathon population was expected to grow substantially. To accommodate the expected influx of congregation members, the Marathon parish was separated from Manitouwadge. 

On July 28, 1977 Trinity Church sustained $7,000 worth of damages when a driver fell asleep at the wheel and crashed through the front entrance to the church.
