Former Presbyterian Church

The Former Presbyterian Church is a Municipal Heritage Property located within the Rural Municipality of Porcupine No 395 in the Hamlet of Carragana. The property features a one-storey, concrete block church constructed in 1950.

The heritage value of the Former Presbyterian Church lies in its architecture. It was built by local parishioners with a Gothic Revival influence, typical of many other churches built in Saskatchewan during this period. These architectural elements, and its existence on its original location, help distinguish the church from the surrounding residential properties, making it a landmark in the community.
