Inscription. This parish was formed in 1817. The first church building erected between 1818-1820 was located at what is now the Junction of Niagara Parkway and York Road. The Rev. Brooke Bridges Stevens, M.A., Garrison Chaplain at Fort George was the first priest. This first church was destroyed by lightning. For 40 years the congregation met in various places until 1879 when this present church was completed. It was consecrated by the first Bishop of Niagara, Thomas Brock Fuller, God-son of Major General Sir Isaac Brock, Commander of Troops during the War of 1812.
