St Matthias Anglican Church

St Matthias Anglican Church An active, inclusive & inquisitive congregation;rooted in the love & teachings of Jesus Christ; joyfully musical; committed to eco & social justice issues

As early as 1911 an Anglican home group was organized at 1587 Fairfield Road by Christ
Church Cathedral. The group outgrew meeting in the house, funds were raised and on January 1, 1915 the church known as St. Matthias Mission was opened and consecrated at 311 Richmond Avenue in Fairfield. By the mid 1950s, the congregation had outgrown this facility. It was sold and St. Matthias moved to its curr

ent location at 600 Richmond Avenue, where the new larger church and parish hall was dedicated on January 6,1957. St Matthias is now an amazingly active small congregation. Christ Church Cathedral Pre-School recently opened in the Rectory. Rogers Court next door is a 24 unit low income seniors residence. Numerous organizations use the parish hall including: ballet, music and art classes; Al-Anon; Power Squadron, and Threshold Housing Society office. In addition, the parish itself supports Camosun College Access Program scholarships; John Jordan's Rwanda project; monthly recycling days; Threshold Housing’s Life Skills program, and other community activities. We have a strong connection with the Canadian College of Performing Arts and an active choir and music program.

Come and enjoy our lovely labyrinth (corner of Richmond & Richardson) -- newly "groomed" by generous and kind neighbours! We are so delighted that this neighbourhood treasure (originally supported by a Victoria placemaking grant and lots of volunteer hours) has been refreshed. In this contemplative season of Advent -- or at any time -- enjoy a few peaceful minutes. And ... warmest thanks to our lovely neighbours!
