OPEN DOORS UPDATE
We’re happy to share an update about the Open Doors Project, including a walkthrough with our own Archdeacon Paul Walker.
We did it! The St. John’s Commons is open!
Developed through our Mission Action Plan process, and born out of 40 years of discussions about accessibility, the new facility enables us to live out the values of community, accessibility, and preservation.
We have raised $1.4 million, and we have $170,000 to go to reach our fundraising goal. Please consider supporting the project.
Concert Series and Upcoming Events
St. John’s is pleased to present concerts and musical events for the enjoyment of our community as part of our mission of musical outreach. Visit our Concert Series page for more details. During the summer, St. John’s plays host to the Elora Festival; please visit their website for events. Join our Music Mailing List for further announcements about our 2025-2026 concerts.
Remembering Fr. John Lockyer
Fr John Lockyer was a beloved Honourary Assistant at St John’s Elora for 8 years. Prior to his retirement, he served in Orangeville, Erin, and in several churches in the Diocese of Algoma. Before his ordination, he was an English teacher and administrator at Pickering College for 30 years.
He will be missed by colleagues, friends, and family from around the church.
There was a requiem Eucharist for Fr. John at St John’s Elora on June 8.
