Parish of Seal Cove History

St. Paul's, Baie Verte

St. Paul's was not the first building to have an Anglican Congregation in Baie Verte but it does have an interesting history as to how it came to be where it is. the building that is now in baie verte, was forty years ago St. Paul's Bear Cove. The small Anglican Congregation in Baie Verte worshipped in the small All Saints Chapel which was located up behind the current building on Church Street. This chapel was later converted into a house and was subsequnetly torn down becuase of age and disuse. The first service held at St. Paul Baie Verte after the epic journey from the top of the hill to the harbour, over fifty miles of ocean and a a trip up another hill, was on December 24th 1970. This fall the congregation will celebrate 40 years of worship in the Church that came by Sea.

St. Swithin's, Seal Cove (White Bay)

St. Swithin's. Seal Cove, White Bay is the second church structure on the same land. the first church was built on the North side of the current structure in the 1870's and served as the church building until the late 1940's when the current wooden structure was built. Over the years additions have been made to enlarge the sancutary, the vestry a choir room and the chancel. all that remains of the orginal tower is the top where the bell and chimes speakers are kept. in the past couple of years the roof has been redone and all of the original windows have been replace with more engery efficient modern widows that open. The four large windows on the front of the building have become two. The congregation also recently received a new electronic organ for its music ministry. It should prove to be a fine edition. 2010 sees the congregation celebrate the 60th anninversary of the consecration of their building by Bishop Phillip Abraham - then Bishop of the Diocese of Newfoundland.

St. Peter's, Westport and Purbeck's Cove

St. Peter's is the second building in the community of Westport Newfoundland and remains as the only church still active in the White Bay community. St. Peter's was built in the early 1960's to seat hundreds of people. In the older Church people had to bring out chairs and stools to sit out side and hear the services. The new building was much larger and able to seat many more but was still not large enough. A witness to the faith and commitment of the all the congregations and communities in the White Bay area.

The current building in Westport his home to a congregation from two communities: Westport and Purbeck's Cove. In the Spring of 2007, there were three churches in the parish were closed and sold, including St. George's, Purbeck's Cove. Thus the congregation from St. George's came and joined the congregation at St. Peter's, Westport. they continue together working hard and believing together.
