Following the retirement of the Revd Michael Hills, All Saints has a vacancy until a new priest is appointed. In the meantime, services will continue as usual, using the Reserved Sacrament and visiting priests when we celebrate Holy Communion
These are the three Charges that comprise the WEC:
All Saints Challoch with St Ninian’s Fellowship
St Johns Stranraer
St Ninians Portpatrick

Welcome to the website of All Saints Episcopal Church, Challoch, near Newton Stewart, Wigtownshire – part of glorious Galloway. The following pages give a flavour of how we go about our declared purpose of looking Godward, Outward and Forward.
The Scottish Episcopal Church is part of the world-wide Anglican Communion, which includes the Episcopal Churches of Commonwealth countries, the American Episcopal Church, and the Churches of England, Ireland and Wales. Through the Porvoo Agreement, we are also in communion with the Scandinavian Lutheran Churches.
We are an inclusive, affirming community where all are welcome. You are invited to share in all our services and in the Holy Eucharist. All baptised people are welcome to receive Holy Communion with us. If browsing these pages encourages you to visit us, we shall be delighted to meet you.
Our Grade One listed Victorian church has ramp access and an amplification system with a loop for the hard of hearing. Large print and Braille liturgies are available. The toilet block is accessible for the disabled. Refreshments are served in church after the 10.30 service and we often have a sale of home-baked cakes and bread.

I see from the latest Newsletter a long list of “Who’s Who at Challoch”. But I see no reference as to who is a member of the Vestry. Why not and please give the details. It is important to members of All Saints’ know who are their legal representatives. If some people listed on the “List” are also Vestry they should be shown as such. From the published “List” it could be questioned as to whether there is a “quorum” for a Vestry Meeting? Please would somebody explain.
That’s a good point. The Vestry is listed in the ‘Newsletter’ slot but to clarify, the list will be given its own page.
