Notes

2024-10-07 - The first St. Stephen Presbyterian Church, located on North Market, was previously known as the Methodist Asylum Chapel. Erected in 1824 of yellow brick, it had 16 double pews and 40 single pews on the lower flat. "The Presbyterians brought with them to Canada everything associated with the term Calvinism, its good and not-so-good, its strengths and its weaknesses. It objected to the operation of anything on Sunday and any recreation fraught with manifold temptation. It brought also the diligence, thrift and stewardship that contributed so much to the making of Canada. In 1852 the first organ was in use in a church service." "The Church of St. John & St. Stephen, Saint John, N.B. 1836-2008," web page, Ruby M. Cusack -Paul R. Marchesano
