A MESSAGE FROM OUR WARDENS



A HISTORY OF ST. OLAVE'S CHURCH

We are pleased to be able to attach to ouw website
a detailed discussion of the history of our church
which includes details of the life of Olaf Haraldson,
who became Saint Olave, as well as of the beginning
of our parish going back to 1886, and our ties with
St. Olave's Hart Street in the London England business
district. The origins and dedications of of all the
windows, fonts, and components of the chapel are also
explained in an interesting way. The document, titled
Wood, Stone and Stained Glass
Saint Olave's Anglican Church
1886 -- 1991

was produced by one of our former rectors
the Reverend Dr. V. D. Wigmore



WELCOME TO THE SUDANESE COMMUNITY CHURCH OF TORONTO

Every Sunday Afternoon at 3:00 PM our Sudanese Friends hold
a multi-denominational and multi-ethnic community service
here at St. Olaves, with prayers conducted in both English and
Juba Arabic. Singing and praising in other tribal languages is
also encouraged. We look forward to working with them.
