Blessings and Greetings to You
A very special welcome to you. The Parish of St Matthew - St Aidan is a small country church with a vibrant community of faith in Buckhorn, Ontario. We're right opposite the locks in the heart of town. And, by the way, we're a down-to-earth group of people.
We carry out our ministry throughout the week and we gather on Sundays at 10 am. If you'd like to check out our historical little church, you are most welcome. And, if you'd like to learn more about the parish, just ask.

Snapshot of who we strive to be
A bit of what we're about ...
Community
Sense of Belonging
A lot of people say these days that something that's missing for them is a sense of community and belonging. And people tell us that, for them, St Matthew - St Aidan is like a a caring family where they feel connected and where people really care.
Spiritual
More than onself
It's pretty easy to have a lot of questions these days about life and what's going on. Everything seems so individualized and broken. What about something beyond ourselves, something greater than ourselves in the whole scheme of things? Something that gives meaning.
Foundation
Teachings of Jesus
We base our understanding of life on the Teachings of Jesus Christ as outlined in Holy Scripture. We strive to follow and practise his teachings especially by caring for the poor in the world and for those in need in our local community and beyond.

The folks who gather each week say that they find these 15 minutes to be a meaningful break at the middle of their week. They often remark about it allows for centering oneself amidst all that goes on around them. They find the time to be refreshing and peaceful. And there's a great sense of community that's grown over recent years. You will be warmly welcomed too.
