All Saints' Anglican Church (Burk's Falls, Ont.) is a church in the Almaguin Anglican Parish, which covers approximately the eastern portion of the Parry Sound District of Ontario.

The congregation in Burk's Falls was established on September 29, 1882 by Rev. William Crompton. The site of the church was specially chosen by Bishop Fauquier during the only visit he paid to the area. The first church building was fashioned of rough wood and was built without debt, but was destroyed by a fire in 1884.

During Rev. W.B. Magana's term from 1884 to 1887 a second church was erected on the original site. Unfortunately, this church was also destroyed by a fire on June 20, 1908.

Not far from the original, a new site was chosen for the third building of the All Saints’ Church and was opened on All Saints' Day, November 1, 1909. With the help of a $500 donation from the Henry Knight family a parish hall was constructed adjacent to the church in 1929.

All Saints' celebrated its 70th anniversary in 1979, which included the installation of a circular stained-glass window in the west wall. The window depicts the Phoenix in red, white, and blue colouring.

St. Paul's Anglican Church (Sundridge, Ont.) is a church in the Almaguin Anglican Parish, which covers approximately the eastern portion of the Parry Sound District of Ontario.

The original frame St. Paul's building was built in 1888. The first clergyman was Rev. George Gander, also of the Grace Anglican Church (South River, Ont.). On December 30, 1888 the Bishop of Algoma opened the church and gave it its name and was later consecrated by Edward, Bishop of Algoma on June 17, 1894. From 1890 - 1898 St. Paul’s was separated from Grace Church and joined the parish of Burk’s Falls, but after Rev. C. Piercey’s resignation, returned to the South River church.

In 1911 electric lights were installed; in 1914 a new organ was purchased; in 1917 foundation was made beneath the church and vestry; in 1922 Joseph Edgar left $1000 to the church in his will; in 1924 a furnace was put beneath the church; in 1930 a rectory was purchased; in 1940 the rector was torn down and replaced; in 1958 a kitchen and oil furnace were installed and the basement and entrance were redone.

St. Paul’s was destroyed by fire on March 5, 1960. Following the fire, services and Sunday school were held in Knox Presbyterian Church.  At a special vestry meeting on March 13, 1960 the congregation decided to rebuild. On Ascension Day, May 26, 1960 the cornerstone was laid by Cannon E.J. Pinnington, a former incumbent of St. Paul's (1913-1916). The completed church was dedicated by Most Rev. W.L. Wright, Archbishop of Algoma on November 13, 1960.  The new church was consecrated on July 23, 1967 by the Archbishop.

Grace Anglican Church (South River, Ont.) is a church in the Almaguin Anglican Parish, which covers the eastern part of the Parry Sound District of Ontario.

In 1891 Grace Anglican Church was built on land donated by Mr. W. C. Connolly. A year later Rev. George Gander held the first service on July 3, 1982. The church was consecrated a short time later on June 23, 1984 by Right Rev. Edward. The South River and Sundridge parishes united in 1898, and a year later Rev. Gander left the church in 1899, after which it was ministered to from St. Paul’s Anglican Church (Sundridge, Ont.).

In 1903 Grace Anglican Church was rebuilt with thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Ard. The Guild later helped renovate the church in 1918, and in 1920 donated a new altar which was dedicated by the Archbishop on March 12, 1921. In 1928 the parish hall was added.

On December 23, 1963, Grace Anglican Church became a self supporting church and combined with the parish, which included: St. John's (eagle Lake, Ont.), St. Paul's (Sundridge, Ont.), St. George's (Magnetawan, Ont.), and All Saints' (Burk's Falls, Ont.).

The church was again renovated in the 1970s.

Irregular services were held before the building was begun in 1890, but due to insufficient funds and debt, the St. Andrew’s Anglican Church (Dunchurch, Ont.) was not completed until December 25, 1896. The money was raised through community fundraisers and grants given by Toronto W.A. and the Society for the Propagation of Christian Knowledge. Through a series of donations the church was fitted with windows, alms basin, alms bags, candlesticks, banners, stove, and surplice.

In March 1897 Rev. Thorneloe, Bishop of Algoma, visited Dunchurch and performed baptisms and administered Holy Communion. Later, on November 17, 1897 the first wedding in Dunchurch was officiated by Rev. D. A. Johnston of St. George’s Anglican Church (Magnetewan, Ont.). On September 24, 1902 St. Andrew’s Anglican Church was consecrated by Bishop Thorneloe while Rev. W. H. French presided.

After years of disuse, St. Andrew’s was reopened and renovated under supervision of Rev. C.H. Peto, Rural Dean of Muskoka. In 1957 it nearly doubled the amount of services being held at Magnetawan. But in 1961 it was found that the attendance had dwindled to a tenth of Magnetawan, and so was closed.

Incumbents have included: Rev. William Crompton (1880-1884), Rev. Arthur John Young (1884-1892), Mr. A. C. Wilson (1893), Mr. T. J. Hay under supervision of Rev. Charles Piercy (1893-1896), Francis R. Godolphin (1897), Rev. D. A. Johnston (1897-1899), Rev. W. H. French (1900-1905), Rev. S. F. Yeomans (1905-1907), Rev. C.

St. George the Martyr Anglican Church (Magnetawan, Ont.) is part of the multi-point Almaguin Anglican Parish (Sundridge, Ont.).

St. George the Martyr was founded by Rev. William Crompton in 1880 and was later consecrated in 1887. The church began as the centre of a Mission that also included St. Paul’s (Sequin Falls, Ont.), St. John’s (Dufferin Bridge, Ont.), Holy Trinity (Pearceley, Ont.), St. Peter’s (Midlothian, Ont.), and later, St. Andrew (Dunchurch, Ont.).

Construction and additions to the church were carried on through the 1880s which consisted of replacing stove pipes with chimneys, improved furniture, the addition of a font and organ, carpeting, siding, a fence and entrance gate, fresh paint inside and out, the old porch torn down and a new one of stone foundation built; the church also acquired a 400 lbs bell from Mr. Shane of Baltimore.

St. George’s underwent extensive repairs in 1917 and the Hall, which was built without a proper foundation, was torn down. The church later united with the All Saints’ Anglican Church (Burk’s Falls, Ont.) in 1926.

Due to its close location to the United States, the parishioners recognized a sizeable population of American worshipers during the summer months and raised an American flag in 1953 as a welcoming.

The church is the subject of a famous painting by Group of Seven artist, A. J. Casson, which hangs in the National Gallery. In 1980 Casson gave permission for the production of prints to celebrate 100 years, and in 1981 the painting was produced on a limited number of plates by the Franklin Mint. Also in marking the centennial of the church, the front was redone and new stained glass windows, dossal curtains, and chancel steps were installed.

Incumbents and rectors who have served St. George’s include: Rev. William Crompton (1880-1884), Rev. Arthur John Young (1884-1892), Mr. A.C. Wilson (1893), Mr. T.J. Hay (1893-1896), Rev. Arthur James Fitzpatrick Cobb (1895), Rev. A.O. Tarrant (1895), Mr. T. J. Hay under supervision of Rev. Charles Piercy (1893-1896), Rev. David Abraham Johnston (1896-1899), Rev. William Henry French (1900-1905), Rev. S. F. Yeomans (1905-1907), Rev. Charles Ryan (1907), Mr. Richard Haines (1908), Mr. Herbert J. Hawken (1908-1909), Rev. Percy Francis Bull (1909-1912), Rev. W.

St. Paul's Anglican Church (Seguin Falls, Ont.) is a church in the Almaguin Anglican Parish, which covers the eastern part of the Parry Sound District of Ontario.

The first St. Paul's Anglican Church was built between 1880 and 1884 as a simple frame structure. In 1890 a resident missionary, Rev. A.J. Cobb, was appointed and the settlers were overjoyed. By 1898, the church was served by lay readers. In 1900 villages began moving closer to railways if they were a few miles away, such was the case with Seguin. The church was "losing its neighbours," so the process of moving the church to Seguin Falls, where the people were, began.

In May of 1902, the Rev. J. Waring and the church-goers of Seguin were still looking for a new site for their church. By December 14th, 1902 a new church was built and opened to accommodate the shifted population due to the railway construction. The people of Seguin Falls, poor as they may have been, contributed greatly towards the construction of their new church. The new church, also called St. Paul's Anglican Church, was consecrated in 1906.

This mission, along with others in the back parts of Parry Sound, continued to persevere into 1907 despite much competition and little growth. The attitude of improvement of circumstances persisted and in 1908 the mission was still alive, though, by this point, some church families had moved on to go West. In 1909 Rev. J. Waring was replaced by Mr. Thos. O. Curliss. Also in 1909, there were thoughts of creating a joint mission between Aspdin, Maganatawan, Novar, Seguin Falls and Sprucedale missions as they were without promise of growth, but there was no action that came from these discussions.

By 1912 the mission was still holding on, but very few families remained with many having left the district. However, there was still justification for continuation of services. Services were still continuing in 1933 under Rev. R. K. Bamber, but it is unclear when the services ended. Sometime before the 1950s the church closed and many things from St. Paul's Anglican Church (such as hymn books and candlesticks) were donated to St. Thomas' Anglican Church in Orrville.

Early incumbents include: Rev. W. Crompton (1880-1884), Rev. A. J. Young (1884-1889), Rev. A. J. Cobb (1890-1898), Lay Readers (1898), Rev. J. Waring (1899-1906), Mr. T. O Curliss (1906-1911).

St. Peter's Anglican Church (Midlothian, Ont.) is part of the multi-point Almaguin Anglican Parish (Sundridge, Ont.).

The plain frame church at Midlothian was constructed between 1880 and 1884. A tower was added to the church in 1889-1890, costing $180. In November of 1895 the church, 18-20 years after being built, was still not completed. It needed lining, the roof properly sheeted, the walls needed completing, and the seats were only rough boards. The people were badly off, but united to raise money to make the church more comfortable. The interior of the church was finished by December 1895. A bell was presented by an English Clergyman, but was not installed until June 19, 1900. A stone foundation was built, and paid for, in November of 1900 as well. 

By 1897, the Midlothian church, under Rev. D. A. Johnston (Incumbent), was considered the most flourishing station in the Magnetawan mission. In 1900, Rev. W. H. French (Incumbent) took over and reported in 1901 that the Church predominated the Midlothian mission and that an effort to form a Sunday-school would be made after Easter. Finally, St. Peter's was free of debt and consecrated by Bishop Thorneloe on September 24, 1902, along with St. Andrew's at Dunchurch.

Come 1923 the office was vacant. From approximately 1926 until 1941/1942 the services were likely held by Rev. G. H. Phillips, followed by Rev. E. G. Dymond of Burk's Falls. In 1938 it was also noted that the church required improvements on the outside and inside, and that the congregation was very small - consisting of only two Anglican families.

In 1944-1947 the church was led by Rev. J. S. Rhodes. The last incumbent to preach at this church was likely Rev. E. R. Nornabell of Burk's Falls (1953?-1960) as he was in office there until 1960, and by 1957 St. Peter's Anglican was closed.

Early incumbents include: Rev. William Crompton (1880-1884), Rev. A. J. Young (1884-1892), Mr. A. C. Wilson (1893), Mr. T. J. Hay under supervision of Rev. C. Piercy (1893-1896), Rev. D. A. Johnston (1896-1899), Rev. W. H. French (1900-1905), Rev. S. F. Yeomans (1905-1907), Rev. C. Ryan (1907), Rev. R. Haines (1908), Mr. H. J. Hawken (1908-1909), Rev. R. Haines (1909), Mr. P. F.

St. George's Anglican Church (Amyot-Heron Bay, Ont.) was a church in the Almaguin Anglican Parish, which covers approximately the eastern portion of the Parry Sound District of Ontario.

Located on the townsite of the Ontario Paper Co. at Heron Bay, St. George's Church was consecrated by the Archbishop of Algoma on May 28, 1961.  The church was built and dedicated in 1958.  The construction was done largely by volunteers from the congregation.

Less than ten years after being consecrated, St. George's at Heron Bay was declared of 'no further use' to the community due to the phasing out of the Ontario Paper Co. and the families moving to Manitouwadge. A motion was passed by the synod executive in 1970 to put the church up for sale.

St. John's Anglican Church (Dufferin Bridge, Ont.) was a church in the Almaguin Anglican Parish, which covers approximately the eastern portion of the Parry Sound District of Ontario.

St. John's Anglican Church (Eagle Lake, Ont.) was built in 1888 by Thomas Quirt, Arthur Smythe, John Ardiel, and John Ralston at the head of Eagle Lake on an acre of land given by Walter Joy. The foundation was laid on April 25, 1888 and the first service was held on July 22, 1888. Bishop Sullivan visited the church in 1889 and 1890 to hold confirmations.

Curiously the church wasn't consecrated or dedicated after it was built. In June 1903 a driving shed was built and first organ (purchased 1901) was paid for. In 1912-1913 there was complete renovation and a stone foundation was put under the building and the vestry built. St. John’s was again renovated between 1958 and 1959.

On May 18, 1966 St John's was finally consecrated by Bishop Wright. On August 23, 1959 a plaque in was unveiled in memory of Mr. and Mrs. Quirt. Additionally, four stained glass windows created by David Morgan were dedicated in memory of the pioneer families in the area on July 4, 1982 by Bishop Nock.

The church is currently a seasonal (summer) church within the Anglican Diocese of Algoma, Deanery of Muskoka, Almaguin Anglican Parish (Sundridge, Ont.)
