Dear members of The Old St. Thomas Church,
May 5, 2024 The Sixth Sunday of Easter Since its completion in 1824, the St. Thomas Anglican Church has been a landmark in St. Thomas. Predating the foundation of the Diocese of Huron, it is amongst the oldest buildings in the Diocese. Now known as Old St. Thomas’, it remains a consecrated Chapel of Ease where occasional services are held in addition to the other civic and community gatherings appropriate to this heritage site.
