About The Church of Saint Jude

The Church of St. Jude is an Anglican place of worship located on Adelaide Street North in the Stoneybrook neighbourhood of London. It serves as a vibrant community for people at all stages of their spiritual journey, offering a welcoming environment for those looking to learn and grow as disciples of Jesus Christ. The church describes itself as a growing family dedicated to serving the community and the world with love and compassion. The church provides in-person worship services held each week at 8:30 am and 10:00 am, with the 10:00 am service also available via live-stream. Parishioners have various opportunities to participate in ministries, including Sunday services, fundraising, outreach, security and maintenance, and finance and stewardship. The church also operates a YouTube channel and provides a weekly newsletter for updates on community events. The parish has a long history, originating from a 1952 plan by the Anglican Diocese of Huron to establish a church in a sparsely inhabited area of London Township. The first meeting of residents from the Northdale and Stoneybrook communities took place in 1953, leading to the dedication of the name St. Jude. The church holds the distinction of being a "Coronation Church" because its first service was held in 1953, the same year as the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. Over the decades, the congregation grew significantly as the area was annexed by the City of London, leading to the construction of a larger sanctuary, meeting rooms, and offices.
