50th Anniversary in Atikokan

ATIKOKAN, Ont. – Faith Lutheran Church celebrated its 50th anniversary on November 8, 2025, with 50 people attending. The first service of the amalgamated congregation of Calvary and Zion took place on September 7, 1975, with Rev. Dennis Paap as the officiant. Rev. Paap has since passed away, but his wife Inez sent greetings to the congregation, as did other former members and pastors. The congregation was honoured to have Rev. Dan Repo in attendance, sharing his memories as Faith’s longest serving resident pastor. An article featured in the local newspaper, The Atikokan Progress, depicted the years of the church’s historical events in the community. It was a wonderful celebration!
