History

Viscount Pastoral Charge was created as a United Church charge in 1925, part of Saskatoon Presbytery and containing Viscount, Meachum and Kildrum appointments. By 1951, Brithdir and Plunkett had also joined the charge. In the mid-1950s, the charge amalgamated with Elstow Pastoral Charge to form Elstow-Viscount Pastoral Charge (containing Colonsay, Elstow, Viscount and Plunkett, as of 1962). Around 1967, the combined charge was renamed Viscount Pastoral Charge and by 1968, Elstow was no longer listed in it.

Viscount and Plunkett closed on June 30, 1998. The Charge was re-named Colonsay Pastoral Charge, January 1, 2005.
