Administrative history
Wolseley Pastoral Charge was formed as a new United Church charge in 1925. Preaching points in the charge included St. James United Church (Wolseley) and Westfield. Sometime before 1960, the charge amalgamated with Sintaluta, forming the Wolseley-Sintaluta Pastoral Charge. The name reverted back to Wolseley Pastoral Charge on June 30, 2002, when the preaching point at Sintaluta was formally closed.
Custodial history
Original provenance for many of the records in the fonds is unclear. Initial items were transferred to the archives between 1925 and 1986. Additions were received by Saskatchewan Conference archives around 1998.
Scope and content
The fonds consists of textual materials generated by Wolseley, Sintaluta and Wolseley-Sintaluta Pastoral Charges and constituent churches – their boards, committees and related bodies, and local youth and women’s groups.
Contents include: minutes of boards, stewards, trustees’ meetings; Sunday school, choir and mission band files; records of local Young Peoples’ Union (Y.P.U.), Ladies Aid Society, Women’s Missionary Society (W.M.S.), Woman’s Association (W.A.) and United Church Women (U.C.W.) groups; correspondence; anniversary bulletin and history files; annual reports; communion and historic rolls; and record books and church registers of baptism, marriages and burials in the area. St. James United Church (Wolseley), Ellisboro, Summerberry, Poplar Grove, Weldon, Westfield Church (Wolseley), Bethany Church (Wolseley), Hurricane Hills Reserve, Carry the Kettle Reserve, Assiniboine, Adair, Red Fox, Rose Valley, Moffatt, Alexander, and Sintaluta are among the congregations and communities identified in the fonds.
