April 16-St. Matthew's Anglican Church


Last weekend I went to a Caribbean Night fundraiser for Hope's Home (the first daycare in Canada to take both regular kids and medically fragile kids) at St. Matthew's Anglican Church.

While at the fundraiser, I found out that St. Matthew's is celebrating its 100 Anniversary this year. So I thought I would take a picture of how it looks in the cold spring sunshine.

Although there has been a church on this spot since 1910 (called the Grace Church), the building you see here (designed by Frank Portnall) was completed in 1926. Grace Church was renamed St. Matthew's Anglican Church in 1915.

For more information about its history, and to see beautiful pictures of its interior, please download their centennial brochure from the St. Matthew's website.
