CONTEXT
Administrative/Biographical history:
Saint Faith's originated in a mission church established in 1868. A district was assigned to the church in 1873, and in the same year a permanent church building was constructed. The church was badly damaged in 1944. The parish of Saint Faith was united with Saint Matthias by Order in Council dated 13 December 1951 to form the parish of Saint Faith with Saint Matthias. The church of Saint Faith was subsequently closed and demolished, and Saint Matthias Church became the parish church of the united parish. The Saint Faith register of baptisms was used as the register of baptisms for the united parish.
