6. ST. ANDREW'S 
     
    
   
   
    
     St. Andrew’s Anglican Church at Invemess, Lot 11, was built and opened for divine 
     
     service in the year 1948. This ambitious project was financed by generous grants from the 
     
     Diocese of Nova Scotia, substantial contributions from parishes and parish organizations on 
     
     Prince Edward Island, many personal donations, and a large sum raised by the people of 
     
     Invemess. One particular fund-raising event initiated by the congregation was a picnic and 
     
     social in the summer of 1949. This endeavor realized a sum of $269.25. 
     
    

    
     Many of the members of St. Andrew’s had previously attended St. Peter’s Church in 
     
     Foxley River. It was felt that the building of a church at Invemess would better serve the needs 
     
     of those parishioners who lived several miles from St. Peter’s. Thus it was that the first sod for 
     
     the new mission church was turned on June 20th. By the end of the year the Rector of Port Hill 
     
     Parish, Rev. L.A. Dignan, reported that the church was completed on the outside, and a floor 
     
     had been laid on the inside. Seats and carpeting for the aisle and chancel were purchased by the 
     
     congregation in 1950. 
     
    

    
     Several donations were made to give the little mission some final touches. A chalice, 
     
     paten, and cruets were provided by the Women’s Auxiliary of St.Mark’s, Kensington, while the 
     
     congregation of St. John’s, Crapaud, donated a lectem. Two chairs were given by the Prince 
     
     Edward Island Women’s Auxiliary. Mr. Stanley Hutchinson of McNeill’s Mills built and 
     
     installed a beautiful pulpit. He donated his time for this project, using materials provided by 
     
    
   
   
    
     St. James’ Women’s Auxiliary.
