The All Saints Anglican Church situated at 7325 Ouimet St. was constructed in 1949. The top photo was taken in 1959 and the bottom photo was taken recently. The presbytary is on the left. This church is also up for sale as are many other churches in Verdun. The different religious communities are looking into sharing the same church to solve their financial problems as was done with the Notre Dame de la Garde Church. Quite an upheaval going on these days in the religious communities.

The church looks attractive & well preserved. Hopefully it isn't torn down for redevelopment.
I don't remember a street called Ouimet, so I'll be looking it up on a map. I assume St Clement's Anglican Church is still operating as a church. That's were we took the vows 48 years ago!...Diane
Diane click on this link then use the street view,for a mini tour around Verdun's Crawford Park area.......

Thanks Les, I remember Crawford Park as the place where a couple of my Third Ave friends moved to. Very upmarket at the time!.....Diane
I now have confirmation that the All Saints Anglican Church on Ouimet Street is closing definately.
Another one of those small Verdun churches disapearing from the map. However, our society (SHGV) is recording all these important facts for our archives.

I just read my baptism record for the first time in my life and realized that I was baptised at The All Saint's Church in 1961.My family lived on Argyle avenue in Verdun.Their last name was Matthews. I also just realized I don't think that my parents were even married,LOL.I do know that they were teenagers.My father left when I was 18 months old and I have never met him.He remarried and had another family.I have always wondered what my other family is like.
