-Laird was a district of the large [[Rosenort Mennonite Church Group (Saskatchewan, Canada)|Rosenort Mennonite Church (Rosenorter Gemeinde) of Saskatchewan]], centering in the town of Laird (1950s population - 400; 2001 population - 236). It is located about 50 miles (80 km) north of the city of [[Saskatoon (Saskatchewan, Canada)|Saskatoon]]. The Rosenorter Gemeinde was established in 1894 by the [[Regier, Peter (1851-1925)|Elder Peter Regier]], who had emigrated from Prussia in 1893. In 1909 there were enough families in the wider area to form districts with a minister in charge of each. Eventually the Rosenort Mennonite Church contained 11 church districts and had over 1,400 baptized members in the mid-1950s.
