On Sunday, the 9th inst., Divine Service
was performed for the first time in the Episcopal Church, recently erected at
Adolphustown, by the Rev. Job Deacon, appointed to that care; when an appropriate
and impressive Sermon was delivered by the Venerable and Official Arch-Deacon
Stuart, from the 11th verse of the 1st Chapter of the
Prophet Malachi; to a numerous congregation. The Trustees of the church take this occasion to
express their grateful acknowledgements for the many liberal contributions
which they have received from different parts of the province. This
assistance has enabled them to carry their designs into no tardy execution;
and they have a confidence that such benevolent Donations will be amply
repaid by the satisfaction arising from the knowledge of their
instrumentality in establishing a place for the Worship and Praise of an
Omnipotent and all-merciful God Adolphustown, 12 Feb. 1823 Feb 14, 1823,

The cornerstone for the new
church (St. Alban’s) was laid in 1884, and the opening took place in 1890. The old St. Paul’s Church
was then used as a “hall” for the church. In 1998 the building was
dismantled and rebuilt in Prince Edward County. |
