Denomination: Anglican Church
St. Mary and St. Martha
The Anglican Church of St. Mary and St. Martha is a new, growing, and diverse community of faith where we together are learning what it means to follow Jesus in the west end of Toronto.
We build on the history and deep roots of four previous Anglican churches in the area: St. John’s, The Church of the Good Shepherd, St. David’s and The Church of the Advent.
We are truly seeing God doing something new - in our lives, our families, our church and our neighbourhood and we invite you to take part in this too.
Feel free to check us out, drop by for one of our services or just come by and say hello. The door is always open!
In the middle of the 19th century the area bounded by St. Clair Avenue, highway 401, Keele Street and the Humber River was on the outskirts of Toronto as we know it today. Settlement along the riverbank, rapid industrialization and the arrival of the railroads from the 1850s onwards brought many settlers to the area. Millers, farmers, tradesmen and merchants, they were mostly of British origin with their roots in the Church of England.
In response to this growth, the Anglican Diocese of Toronto established several mission churches under the leadership of local established congregations. The people of the new parish of St. Mary and St. Martha find their roots in these vibrant mission churches.
St. John’s, Weston Road
The Church of the Good Shepherd
St. David’s, Lawrence Avenue West
The Church of the Advent
In May 2015 the four churches voted to amalgamate, and the first service of the new Church of St. Mary and St. Martha was held on October 11, 2015. Since then we have been growing as one joyful congregation learning to love and serve God and our neighbours in the Weston-Mount Dennis area.
