About THE PARISH
With the discovery of
gold on the Reef and the influx of miners from Great Britain, small pockets of
church work in the Main Denominations (English = Anglican and Methodist; Welsh=
Baptist; Scottish = Presbyterian) began to spring up led at first by laity.
The first Anglican group met at a house in Elsburg, and they petitioned the Bishop who (since Boksburg was the first mining township proclaimed on the East Rand - proclaimed a few days before Johannesburg) sent a missionary priest to Boksburg to establish a parish in 1890
