St. Mary's Church

The history of this parish dates back to sometime before 1865, when the Guardian Angel’s Church was built on Centre Street. A fire destroyed this church in July of 1878 and with it all the records of the parish up until that time. The following year the parish renovated a church that had been home to one of the Presbyterian congregations before it merged with the other local Presbyterian Church. The parish used this building until 1910, when a new church was built on John Street. The first priest to be appointed in Brampton, was appointed to this church in 1919. In 1964 St. Mary’s moved into its present home on Main Street South.
