History
Construction began on the first Anglican church in Crapaud in 1841, on land donated by the Countess of Westmorland. The first rector of the "Church of St. John the Evangelist" was Reverend J. Herbert Read. Under Rector T.W. Johnston (1874-1888) the church was repaired and renovated, the rectory remodeled and the barn rebuilt. On 16 April 1900, a committee was appointed to solicit subscriptions for the building of a new church. Reverend Charles Cumming became rector in 1901 when the present church building was completed. The architect was James Harris of Charlottetown and the contractors were Messrs. John, Lemuel, and Samuel Haslam. Organizations that have been active within St. John's church throughout the years include the Girls Auxiliary, Junior Auxiliary, Little Helpers, Darcas, Social Service, Prayer Partner, Saving Conveyors, and Sunday school groups.
