This past Sunday, November 2, St. James Anglican Church celebrated the consecration of its new home at 130 Thames Street South on Sunday, Nov. 2. The Bishop of the Diocese of Huron, The Right Reverend R. Todd Townshend, Th.D., led the service, blessing the building and officially opening the doors to a new chapter for the congregation. The church was filled with joyful faces—parishioners, longtime supporters, and curious neighbours—all gathered to witness the special moment. After six years of transition since leaving their former gothic-style church, the congregation embraced this milestone with gratitude and excitement. The hour-long service was a beautiful blend of tradition, hope, and community spirit. Guests were invited to explore the new space, share memories, and look ahead to the future of worship and outreach at St. James.
