Holy Trinity Anglican Church-Headingley - Headingley
About Holy Trinity Anglican Church-Headingley
A lot was eventually purchased from the Headingley Agricultural Society for the sum of one dollar, with the aim of making the church accessible year round. In 1951 the church tower was removed so that the building could pass under power lines, and on December 23 the church began its journey across the field to its new destination on Portage Avenue where it stands today.
Extensive renovations to the church have been made since then: The roof rafters were replaced, the roof repaired, the church interior painted, and all the windows were re-glazed. The stained glass windows were also re-leaded. A basement hall that included a kitchen, washrooms and Sunday school space, was completed in 1987, and in 2012 a wheelchair lift was installed, made possible by the generous donations of members of the congregation.
Holy Trinity is rich with history and brimming with many cherished gifts and donations. In 1866 the church received a a church bell weighing 276 lbs, a gift from Bishop Anderson. This bell continues to ring out today calling worshippers some 150 years later.
In 1876, the church received a Communion set from an anonymous gentleman in Brooklyn, New York; and shortly thereafter the Baptismal font was received from St. Lukes, S. S., Brooklyn, New York. Any connection between the two donations is not known.
