Legacy Of Worship : Sacred Places In Rural Saskatchewan

Margaret Hryniuk (with photographer Frank Korvemaker and contributor Larry Easton) presents a richly illustrated celebration of more than 60 historic rural churches across Saskatchewan. The book pairs vivid colour photographs—many taken on location—with engaging narratives that trace each building’s architectural features, denominational background, and the personal stories of the congregations that have gathered there.

Through these profiles, the work reveals how these modest worship spaces have served as focal points for community life—marking births, marriages, funerals, and everyday gatherings—while also documenting the diverse spiritual traditions (15 denominations) and the First Peoples’ sacred sites within the province. In essence, Legacy of Worship offers both a visual tour and a cultural history of Saskatchewan’s rural religious heritage
