Carnduff Pastoral Charge was formed as a new United Charge in 1925, part of Estevan Presbytery, with preaching points at Carnduff (St. Andrew's) and Wheatlands. Eventually, the charge joined with Carievale and, by 1958, it had been re-named Carnduff-Carievale Pastoral Charge. As of 1962, the charge consisted of Carnduff, Carievale, Bethel and Wheatland. Around 1965, Alida joined the charge and Carievale left (it would join Gainsborough, Bethel and Winlaw, ca.1966, to form Gainsborough-Carievale Pastoral Charge). By the 1970s, the charge had been re-named Carnduff-Alida. Alida eventually closed, December 31, 2003.

Caron Pastoral Charge was formed as a new United Church charge in 1925, containing preaching points at Caron, Knox [Grayburn?] and Summerside. Later points included Wesley and Boharm (ca.1960). Around 1969, the charge divided and St. Andrew's United Church (Caron) was added to Moose Jaw Grace Pastoral Charge, creating the new Moose Jaw Grace-Caron Pastoral Charge. Boharm and Wesley briefly formed their own Boharm-Wesley Pastoral Charge, before dividing (ca.1970), with Boharm joining Moose Jaw Minto Pastoral Charge. Wesley would be officially discontinued, ca.1971. The Grace-Caron Charge would also later dissolve and Caron church would join Mortlach Pastoral Charge.

A specific fund was established to create a special appointment for Caron, to integrate women's studies into the curriculum of St. Andrew's College. She joined their faculty in 1985 as professor of pastoral theology, eventually serving as co-president (1993-1998). She was named to the Lydia Gruchy Chair in 1998, and in 2001 was appointed Academic Dean.

Though born in Edmonton in 1941, David Carpenter's youth was spent in Edmonton, Jasper, Banff and Lake Louise. Graduating in 1964 with a B.A. and B.Ed. from the University of Alberta, he taught high school for one year before entering a M.A program in English at the University of Oregon. In 1967 he returned to Edmonton, M.A. in hand, and resumed his high school teaching career. Two years later he enrolled in the Ph.D. program at the University of Alberta, graduating in 1973. Dr. Carpenter spent the next two years as a post-doc at the University of Manitoba before accepting an appointment in Canadian Literature, Department of English, at the University of Saskatchewan. He was promoted through the ranks, becoming full professor in 1986. In the mid-1970s, Carpenter began to write seriously as a vocation. This early work was to become part of a series of interconnected works of fiction (Jokes for the Apocalypse, Jewels, and God's Bedfellows) published between 1985 and 1988. In the late 1980s, Carpenter began work on his first full length novel, Rider Wrong, and in 1994 published his first book of essays, Writing Home. 1995 and 1996 saw publication of his first how-to book, Fishing in the West, and his second book of essays, Courting Saskatchewan. Dr. Carpenter has received several literary awards, has taught creative writing at Fort San, Saskatchewan and is a frequent guest on CBC radio programs.
