Administrative history
Services in Chelsea began in the 1830's in settlers' homes. By 1842, services were being held in the Chelsea schoolhouse. In 1875, the building of St. Mary Magdalene Church, Chelsea was begun. The church was dedicated two years later. In the fall of 1943, the first St. Mary Magdalene Church was secularized and the building demolished. The small congregation continued with worship services held in the schoolhouse. From 1950-1956, the growing congregation of St. Mary Magdalene met in the United Church in Chelsea. New land was acquired and in 1957, the cornerstone for the new church was laid. On December 7, 1966 the second St. Mary Magdalene, Chelsea was consecrated. Due to deterioration of the building, the decision was made in 2000 to enlarge St. Mary Magdalene. This would include the erection of a church hall and increase the size of the church. The construction project was completed by the end of 2001. Chelsea is in the parish of Wakefield-Chelsea-Lascelles.
