Who we are
St Mary of the Visitation Parish is located in the Village of Hespeler, a part of the City of Cambridge, Ontario. Our parish was founded on September 7, 1857. The Church was erected even before the Village was incorporated which illustrates the importance of this aspect of the lives of the founding families. The original parish Church was built in 1906, destroyed by fire some ten years later. We have resided at the top of the Cooper Street Hill since March 1916.
