Our Parish: We have two year-round congregations – one at St. George in Echo Bay (http://www.echobay.ca/) and one at Holy Trinity, Jocelyn Township, on St. Joseph Island (https://www.algomacountry.com/cities-towns/st-joseph-island/) We have two other churches that are only open in the summer. One is The Chapel of the Intercession attended mainly by American cottagers and the other is St. John’s in Hilton Beach where we hold a couple of special services in the warmer months.
Our parish is a part of a larger group of Anglican churches in our area known as The Diocese of Algoma (https://www.dioceseofalgoma.com/). We are all a part of The Anglican Church of Canada (https://www.anglican.ca/).
