The parish announced on Saturday that it is launching a fundraising effort to cover multi‑million‑dollar maintenance and repair costs for its historic building.
St. James United Church has been a community fixture since the late 1880s, but the aging structure now requires extensive repairs that the ministry cannot afford. Rising expenses and the high cost of upkeep have created a cash shortfall, prompting the call for donations.
The ministry hopes that contributions will bridge the financial gap and allow the historic church to continue serving the neighbourhood for years to come.
