The major religions of Grenada are the Catholic Church and Anglican Church. The Presbyterian Church is also prominent.


The island of Grenada was first colonized by the French in 1674. Historically the religious makeup of the islands of Grenada covers the period from first European occupation in the 17th century. This has always been predominantly Christian and largely Roman Catholic (due to the first occupants being French) and from the 1891 census we get a snapshot of the population and its religious proclivities - over half were Roman Catholic (55%), a third were Church of England (36%), others listed were Wesleyan (6%) and Presbyterian (0.88%).

===Historical Background===
===Historical Background===
The first church in Grenada was French Roman Catholic and about 1718 the Notre Dame du Bon Secours Catholic Church. A tiny number of Irish Roman Catholic remained on the island as part of the Irish Brigade military contingent under Count Arthur Dillon and his brother Edward in 1779. At least seven early [[Grenada Online Genealogy Records | Roman Catholic parish registers]] (nearly 340 pages) have survived and have been digitized but not yet indexed. After 1864 RC parish records would have to have been formally kept.
==''' Anglican Church Records'''==
===historical Background===
The Protestants Anglican Church was the state church or Established Church in Grenada from 1763 (once the island was formally ceded to Britain through the Treaty of Paris) Then in October 1800 all Catholic Churches were appropriated by the Protestants for the use as Anglican Churches. It was on 29 June 1830 that the foundation stone of the St. Patrick’s Anglican Church was laid as the first and oldest Anglican Church constructed in the parish.  It was one of four churches started that year, including Anglican churches in St. Andrew and St. David.

===Historical Background===
===Historical Background===
Although Scottish Presbyterians began a massive migration in 1605, they did not arrive in Grenada until 1830 when St. Andrew's Presbyterian (also known as Scots’ Kirk) in St. George’s was built. Many of the Presbyterian settlers to Grenada, usually Plantation settlers, came also from England, Ireland and from Wales.  By 1880 their progress grew in both Belair and St. Patrick’s and by 1883, Reverend James Muir from Scotland, arrived in Grenada and began assisting some twelve hundred Indians on the Island.

===Historical Background===
Although some Church members lived in Grenada while attending medical school, little permanent missionary work started until after the 1983 coup and subsequent invasion of Grenada by United States and United Nations forces. Under the direction of President Kenneth L. Zabriskie of the West Indies Mission, Elders Robert W. Hoffmaster and Leonard C. Gill arrived in Grenada in May 1985. They met with a medical student and their children. A branch (a small congregation) was established in St. George on 3 September 1985. Grenada is part of the Barbados Bridgetown Mission. Total Church Membership: 420. <ref> The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, "Facts and Statistics: Grenada, https://newsroom.churchofjesuschrist.org/facts-and-statistics/country/grenada, accessed 29 March 2020.</ref>

Methodist records consist mainly of baptism and marriage records. Baptism records show the child’s name, parents, and birth date and place. Marriage records show the names of the bride and groom, and the marriage date and place. Occasionally a circuit minute book or vestry book was kept. Since there were few Methodist cemeteries, death or burial records are rare. Methodists were usually buried in Anglican Church cemeteries, and their burial records kept in Anglican Church registers.

Many other denominations have established churches or congregations in Grenada. In the mid-1700s Congregationalists and Baptists first came to Grenada as soldiers under Cromwell. Huguenots, seeking religious freedom, also came in the 1700s. Most Huguenots affiliated themselves with the Anglican Church or with the Presbyterian Church. Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints established branches in Grenada by 1950.  
Congregations were organized but very few kept early records. All congregations would have had to start keeping records after 1864.
