  • F-330
  • Corporate body
  • 1912-

All Saints, South Burnaby was initially within the parish boundaries of St. John, Central Park and began as the Alta Vista mission of that parish. Services were held in a store [1912] and then in a school and in private homes [1913]. The mission became a separate parish in 1913 and was named All Saints, Alta Vista by the Bishop, Adam de Pencier. The name was changed to "All Saints, South Burnaby" in 1950 and became "The Parish of All Saints, South Burnaby" when the parish was incorporated 1956. For many years, except for brief periods, the new parish was served by theological students, with the Rector of St. John, Central Park and other, often retired, clergy undertaking monthly sacramental duties. The first regular, long term rector began in 1932, and this pattern continues to the present. The first church building was erected on donated land, with the first service held in it in October, 1913. A church hall was completed in 1922 and a new larger church building in 1958 to serve the growing parish. The building was dedicated and the altar and sanctuary furnishings consecrated in October 1958. In 1967, the building debt was retired and the church was then consecrated by the Bishop. Further renovations have been made to parish buildings over the years to accommodate changing priorities. The parish continues to serve the south Burnaby area as it has done since 1912.

St. Laurence's Parish (Coquitlam, B.C.)

  • F-336A
  • Corporate body
  • 1965-

The Right Reverend Godfrey P. Gower, Bishop of the Diocese of New Westminster, formally established the parish of St, Laurence on May 16, 1963. The parish first met in the local health unit, but recognizing that the population in the area would likely double in the following ten years, the building committee decided to construct a facility that would provide space for worship, church school and parish activities. Members of the parish were active in the construction of the building, which was completed and the first services held in June 1965. The growing congregation saw the need for a larger building, and in 1987 plans began to build a new church. A very committed team of lay leaders met weekly for two years to incorporate the vision and desires of the parish. The original sanctuary would become a large parish hall and the new sanctuary would be built on an adjoining lot. With enthusiastic leadership and a vigorous stewardship campaign, the new building was consecrated on November 27, 1996.
