Church its

* ahout 130 people gathered Fri-

day night in. the Parish Hall to
observe the occasion.

Archdeacon B. A. Resker,
Rector of St. Alban's, spoke on
the naming of the church from
that of St. Alban’s Cathedral in
England, built on the site where
St, Alban was the first known
Martyr, about 304 A.D. Mr. Res-
ker said St. Alban's here is now
a member. of the fraternity of
brotherhood ,. of St... Alban’s
“Churches; whicté: “embraces “all

At ‘the opening “service ‘in!
the church’ on November. 27,
1938, there were 93 present, he|
noted. Th church was not as
large as it is today, an addition
had been built in 1955... —

The church was served in
the earlier days by Rossland Min-
isters, being as it was_a part of
the Rossland Parish.

Two who were most faithful
in travelling back and forth win-
ter'and summer were Rev. D. S.

Célgar would finance the move.
Mr. Barclay said’a serles of
tests carried out showed the wa-

ter. He stated Celgar would car-
ry the plan out, and his company
‘would be the losers should the
‘wells not prove satisfactory. All
data and information on the
wells had already been offered
to the Village, he said.

Evening Guild. ‘These organiza-
tions have. played a_ splendid
part .in making St. Alban’s a
more worthy house of God,” said
Mr. Resker. Many of the furish-
ing have been supplied through
their efforts.

Many local citizens who were
not Anglicans gave voluntary
labor in the building of the
church, and a list of all helped or
gave donations hangs in the
church today.

The new church was of bene-
tit-to others too, and: several
other -denominatiors held’ ser-
vices there before their own
churches were built. ~

The Parish Hall which was
put up in.1944 has served many
community organizations and has
filled,a real need. The hall was
built from lumber reclaimed
from bunkhouses at the Brilliant
Dam, and bought for $200.

Mr, Resker noted the same
parishioners who were active
when the church was being built]
are still the “mainstays” of the
Parish. “Some time ago I coin
ed a sloga for the W.A, which
certainly. applies to these plon-
eers of St. Albans,” he said, ‘We!
who have‘ inherited their labors
realize ‘how much was done by
so few for so many. These
pioneers had great faith in Cast-
Jegar, when there were’ .so few
they built for us who followed
them.” Mr. Resker drew, atten-
tion. to the growth and develop-
ment.of:the Parish and that it is

now self-supporting.

felt that on a monthly basis per

felt this would be particularly
