Trinity Church, Blenheim, Ontario
Blenheim, Ontario was incorporated into a town in 1885 and is now part of Chatham-Kent.Trinity Church, Blenheim, is celebrating its 150th anniversary this year. The congregation was formed in 1858 with a small, wood-frame church built. In 1882, the current, stone building in Blenheim's downtown replaced that structure. A reformed, independent church is still using the original building. Trinity's Sesquicentennial banquet was on May 17th and Bishop Bruce Howe led a worship service the following day. The church is having other events and will publish a commemorative booklet that may be purchased by contacting the church office at 519-676-2081.
Trinity, Bleiheim along with St. Paul's, Erieau and Grace Church in the Rondeau Government Park form the Parish of Rondeau Bay. Rev. David Fuller became the rector February 1, 2007.
