This series contains registers of acts of civil service performed by the Church from 1845 to present and copies of declarations of marriage sent to le Directeur de l'état civil.

Records of acts of civil service are recorded in bound registers as well as in copies of declarations of marriage sent to le Directeur de l'état civil. Although a register is still kept, in 1993 le Directeur de l’état civil began to collect their own records, making the register redundant. Consequently, acts of civil service are not reliably recorded in registers past 1993.

This series contains records related to the Church property on the corner of Beaver Hall Hill and la Gauchetière street. It includes a handwritten ledger of costs associated with the construction of the second church building on the property from 1858, as well as photocopies of "Montreal then and Now" articles, about the church building, from the Montréal Gazette written in the 1980s.

The Church was located on this property from 1844 until 1905. During this time, the Church was housed in two buildings, one built in 1845 and another in 1858. The latter of these buildings was partially destroyed by fire in 1869 and rebuilt. In 1907 the congregation moved to the property located at the corner of Sherbrooke and Simpson streets.

This sub-series contains the calendars created by the Church between 1905 and 1953. Although the earliest calendar exists from 1905, calendars exist on a consistent basis from 1909 to 1925 and then from 1927 to 1953. The pre-1921 calendars tend to have more detailed overview of the activities of the Church, including services, sermons, mariages, baptisms, deaths and other meetings, while the calendars dating after that are more akin to orders of service (see the orders of service series, linked below in related materials, for more details).
