St. George Wakefield was consecrated on November 6, 1904 and remains an essential service in our community. We are extremely proud of our church and the beautifully maintained cemetery/churchyard surrounding it. However, a church is nothing without its people. As in the past years, St. George Wakefield Church has a team of faithful and dedicated people attending and contributing to its care. Our regular worship is Sunday morning at 9:15 a.m. and all are welcome. Following the service, we have coffee, refreshments and a time of fellowship in the parish hall.
Anyone interested in Baptism, Confirmation, Marriage, or Christian Burial, please contact Mawejje at 204-738-4366 or 204-482-9486 or email: stgeorgewakefield@outlook.com
Bible Study is held every Thursday – 10:00 a.m. at the Church hall.
