“Saint James Anglican Church was originally a chapel erected by French Récollet monks in 1703. The chapel served as court and prison after Britain’s occupation of the city in 1760. Anglicans acquired the church in 1823.”
“This is one of four formal "rectories" in the diocese. They were created by letters patent under rules set out in the Quebec Act. The Archbishop holds the title and office of Rector. St James found at 787 des Ursulines, Trois-Rivières, QC, G9A 5B7 is along with Montreal and Quebec the oldest Anglican parishes in the province.”

When I was checking this last site I relized that the clergy in charge was our former rector from St. John's in Ottawa. He is now the Executive Archdeacon for the Diocese of Quebec.

I must admit that the only memory I have of being inside the church was when my grandmother died in 1985.
As it turned out, the family met in the rectory and then we went off to have a short graveside service so there was no actual service in the church.
