Denomination: Roman Catholic
The first Catholics to settle in Merrickville were the families of the Irish, Scottish, and French builders of the Rideau Canal (1826-1832). The area was originally served by priests visiting from Perth and Prescott and later from Smiths Falls and Kemptville.
Today, St. Ann's Parish is home to Catholics in the Village of Merrickville-Wolford and parts of Montague, Marlborough, and Oxford townships. In 2023, we will celebrate 200 years of Catholicism in Merrickville-Wolford.
