Who we are
Nothing in this world lasts forever. In this world of finitude, things begin, they live, and then they end. Such is the nature of life this side of eternity. Even churches have endings. In 1990, the parish of All Hallows, situated on Main Street, amalgamated with St. Columba’s on St. Clair Ave. East, the next parish to the north.
This past spring (2014), the combined parish of All Hallows and St. Columba was disestablished.
All Hallows always had a history of placing a high value on beauty and with the closing of the combined parish many worship articles of great beauty were left without a home. From these, St. Timothy’s has been given two lovely gifts: a truly beautiful suite of rose vestments and altar decorations and a set of two cruets.
This Advent, as we approach Gaudete Sunday, we will unveil the rose suite. Now, however, we are going to begin using the cruets. Dedicated to God’s glory as memorials in 1920, these cruets of glass with silver adornment are indeed beautiful.
As we take custody of these gifts, we are reminded that the one thing in this world that will not end until Jesus returns in great glory is the Body of Christ. And so we, now as the Body of Christ gathered at St. Timothy’s lovingly with thanksgiving, take these signs of the faithfulness of God’s people from the parish of All Hallows and St. Columba. We shall continue to use them for God’s glory, and the building up of God’s people.

St. Columba and All Hallows History
In 1990, All Hallows’ was amalgamated with St. Columba’s, the next parish to the north. In a way, this was an unlikely amalgamation as St. Columba’s was founded after the second world war with a decidedly Irish low church persona. (And yet the two parishes had for some time shared clergy in the summer. For most of the summers I played at All Hallows’, the rector of St. Columba’s, William Warnica, took the services at All Hallow’s while Fr. Scott was on holidays. )
The service of amalgamation, held on September 9th, 1990, began with the Liturgy of the Word at All Hallows’. A sacrament procession then led the congregation to St. Columba’s, while the Litany of the Saints was sung. The end notes in the leaflet of that day say something of the bringing together of two quite distinct liturgical cultures: “In these changing times, the merging of our congregations and traditions seeks to strengthen our common mission for Christ. The opennes of Anglicanism in the threefold principle of ‘Scripture, Tradition and Reason’ allows us to embrace in that new community both the evangelical and catholic, the traditional and contemporary, the ancient and the modern in a rich weave of spirituality and witness for Christ.” Many of the furnishings from All Hallows’ were incorporated in the All Hallows’ Chapel at the new St. Columba & All Hallows’, located on St. Clair Avenue East near O’Connor.
