Our History The Diocese of Qu Appelle was created by the Synod of the Province of Rupert s Land. Our first bishop, Adelbert Anson, from Lichfield Diocese, was consecrated as the first bishop of Qu Appelle on June 24, 1884. St. Paul s Church in the city of Regina, after having pro-Cathedral status for many years, became the Cathedral of the diocese in 1973. It has always been the goal of the diocese to become self-supporting. After its beginning with the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel, the diocese finally achieved self-support in 1975.
