The historic stairwell on the east side of the church has been identified as structurally vulnerable and is immediately closed for use. For your safety, please do not use these stairs for regular entry or exit until repairs have been completed. This stairwell is more than an architectural feature. It is also a required emergency egress from the lower level of the church building. Restoring it is essential both for public safety and for preserving the historic character and heritage craftsmanship of our worship space.

This spring, we’re measuring how our new accessible entrance is serving the parish and community. There is a brief, anonymous survey available inside the new accessible door. It can be answered on paper or online via QR code. Please take a minute and complete the survey.

Your answers will help us understand how the accessible entrance supports our church mission and common life together, and we will report the findings to the Ontario Trillium Foundation, which provided a grant for this important accessibility improvement.

All Saints is journeying on a three-year mission action plan (MAP) to strive to be more missionally motivated and to lean more intentionally into parish strengths and growth areas. Our four pillars (areas of focus) are as follows:

• Sharing Who We Are
• Welcoming Others
• Serving Others
• Growing In Faith

These areas were identified by a parish-wide planning meeting in the spring of 2024. It was a wildly constructive meeting for generating ideas and discerning the will and direction of the church as it accords with God’s call to us as a faith community. See the infographic below that shows the four primary growth areas, broken out into 2-3 general focus objectives. The general focuses were further broken down into specific target action items (not shown here). This month (Jan 2026), in a set of aspirational and affirmative sermons, Mthr Jennifer will be talking about MAP and maps and the call to journey with God and with each other. We are enjoying updates on the progress that has been made so far in the four priority areas as we enter Year 3 of the MAP implementation.
