Administrative history

Grand Marais, St Jude, was likely formed as a mission of Scanterbury, St Philip, sometime around the turn of the twentieth century. George Rupert and Alex Knott each donated an acre of land for a church and cemetery. The church was built in 1896 out of black poplar logs. In 1931, an addition to the church building was made, in the form of a chancel, sanctuary and two vestry rooms. The old church was still used occasionally, having been wired for electric heat sometime in the 1950s. It was secularized on October 8, 2015.

In 1965, the congregation of St Jude purchased the former Roman Catholic church building and used it for worship. It was dedicated 25 October 1965. This “new” Jude’s Church was disestablished as of December 31, 2018 by letter of the Rt. Rev. Geoffrey Woodcroft. It was secularized on March 18, 2019. The church building and hall were sold effective March 31, 2019.

St Jude was part of the Eastern Beaches ministry group, that included Scanterbury, Balsam Bay, and Victoria Beach.
