- Description
The first wave of Irish immigration to Upper Canada occurred in the early nineteenth century following England's annexation of Ireland in 1800. Irish settlers to the Toronto Gore area arrived in 1818.
The oldest of the St. Patrick's parishes, Wildfield predates the establishment of the diocese. The first church on the site was blessed on 27 June 1830 and the present church was built in 1894.
The stained glass window over the sanctuary (right) depicts St. Patrick in his episcopal garb. In his right hand is a shamrock. There is a snake underfoot, its head pinned by the saint's crozier.- Date of Original
