History Biographical:

Until 1937, the Anglican Parish of the Epiphany (Sudbury, Ont.) was the only parish to serve the Sudbury area. The Anglican Parish of the Resurrection (Sudbury, Ont.) started as a mission to the Parish of the Epiphany and later separated 1937.

The first Anglican service in the area was conducted by the Reverend Gowan Gillmor on October 7, 1883.

Rev. James Boydell, who served the Sudbury area from 1899, described his duties to include serving Copper Cliff, Murray Mines, Stobie, Victoria Mines, Wahnapitae, and Cartier. In 1902, St. John the Divine (Copper Cliff, Ont.) and Sudbury decided to become a self-supporting parish, an agreement in which The Church of the Epiphany would cover the costs of operations and appoint Catechists to Copper Cliff. Just six years later St. John the Divine became a separate mission with Rev. T.N. Mumford as priest-in-charge.
