Saint Samuel’s

The Parish

Saint Samuels began in the year 1900. It was built on land that belonged to Samuel Adams, who contributed financially to have the church built. The Church was built to serve the Catholic people of Douglastown, Rosebank (Nordin) and Ferry Road. More land was purchased for the Church in the 1970’s for parking. And then in 1993 the church was gifted property from William Mahoney and Marguerite McKinnon.

The Parish Hall was built in 1989, but did not officially open until the next year. Before the hall was built, Saint Samuels used the Seamans Hall as its main hall but decided it needed something closer to suit its needs as a community.

The Rectory of Saint Samuels is where the priest lives during his time at the Church. The current rectory is not the original one which was moved off the property in the 1930’s. The current one was built in the same year. The rectory was sold in 2024 as it was no longer needed by our Priests.
