Clerics | Photos & Coordinates | Sources

Holy Trinity Anglican Church was established in Miniota, in the Municipality of Prairie View, in February 1900, as part of the Anglican Diocese of Rupert’s Land. Services were first held in a hall over a hardware store, then at a neighboring Methodist Church. In 1908, a flour and feed store was purchased as a permanent place of worship and moved to its present location. In 1924, the church became part of the Brandon Diocese. In April 2005, the congregation of Holy Trinity was presented with an MHS Centennial Organization Award.
