Historic Sites of Manitoba: St. Stephen’s Anglican Church (220 Helmsdale Street, Winnipeg)
A former Anglican church on Helmsdale Street in Winnipeg was constructed in 1913 as a mission of St. John’s Anglican Cathedral. With a growing congregation, expansions of the original building were made in 1978 and 1998. The last service occurred in 2018 when the congregants moved into a nearby church on Kimberly Avenue. Finally, in April 2020, with dwindling attendance, they deconsecrated the church. It was demolished in 2021.
Among the clerics of St. Stephen’s Anglican Church were Francis James Ison (c1937-1961) and Edna Lenora Perry (?).
