==Foundation of the parish, 2001==

On 1 June, 2001, the [https://orthodoxwiki.org/Introduction_to_Orthodox_Christianity Orthodox Christian] community of [http://www.asna.ca All Saints of North America] was founded in [http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/hamilton/ Hamilton], [http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/ontario/ Ontario], [https://www.britannica.com/place/Canada Canada], through an informal meeting of several English-speaking Orthodox Faithful who assembled for regular [https://orthodoxwiki.org/Vespers Vespers] and [https://orthodoxwiki.org/Typika Typica] services with the blessing of [[Archbishop Seraphim (Storheim) |Bishop Seraphim (Storheim)]] of [https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/ottawa Ottawa].  Before this time, the original families with potential for beginning this missionary venture were travelling rather frequently to the [[Toronto ON Christ the Saviour Russian Orthodox Sobor 1915 |Christ the Saviour Russian Orthodox Sobor]] in [http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/toronto/ Toronto] to worship.  At the beginning, the small community would gather in the domestic chapel of [https://orthodoxwiki.org/Deacon Deacon] Geoffrey and Linda Korz in Hamilton.  

==First distinct location, 2003==

Since May, 2003, and the ordination of [http://archdiocese.ca/clergy/korz-priest-geoffrey Father Geoffrey Korz] to the Holy [https://orthodoxwiki.org/Presbyter Priesthood], the mission has enjoyed regular [https://orthodoxwiki.org/Divine_Liturgy Divine Liturgies].  From September, 2003, through December, 2005, the Sunday morning Divine Liturgy was served in the lower level of the [https://niagaraanglican.ca/parish/st-stephen-on-the-mount-hamilton Saint Stephen Anglican church] hall on Concession Street.  

==Second location, 2006==

In January, 2006, the parish moved to a commercial space above a dental office at 117, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queenston_Road_(Hamilton,_Ontario) Queenston Road] in Hamilton.  This location for services allowed for easy access from the local highways, as well as for more spacious facilities for services, luncheons, and the “Desert Wisdom Bookroom” (an Orthodox book and supply shop operated by the parish).  In addition, the worship-space did not have to be assembled and dismantled for every service.  Indeed, there was an actual [https://orthodoxwiki.org/Iconostasis iconostas] installed (which, however, was easily able to be removed when necessary).  The area was carefully planned for maximum efficiency in the use of this second-floor space.  

==Fundraising for Chinese Orthodox Christian missions==

In June, 2006, an annual fundraising dinner was initiated for the purpose of supporting [https://orthodoxwiki.org/Timeline_of_Orthodoxy_in_China Orthodox Christian Chinese missions].  The parish [http://www.asna.ca/resources/chinese-missions.pdf provides on its web-site a guide to help others organise such events].  This event in this parish supports the [http://www.orthodox.cn/ofasc/index_en.html Orthodox Fellowship of All Saints of China] (a non-profit USA religious corporation which has the strategic vision of producing easy-to-read and accurate modern Chinese translations of important Orthodox texts, and of disseminating such texts online and in printed form, thus making them available to the Chinese-speaking world).  

These dinners followed in the succeeding years, and they were held around the Feast of the [https://orthodoxwiki.org/Martyrs_of_China Chinese Martyrs] (11/24 June).

==Purchasing a building ; renovation ; opening the Temple, 2009==

In January, 2009, a building was purchased by the parish at 397, Melvin Avenue, which is at the corner of the junction with Woodward Avenue, in the heart of Hamilton's East End, in the [https://www.sprc.hamilton.on.ca/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/McQuesten-Profile-March-2012.pdf McQueston neighbourhood].  This is an older area of the city, on the lower level nearer to [http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/lake-ontario/ Lake Ontario] than to "[http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/niagara-escarpment/ the escarpment]" and upper Hamilton.  

With the help of many donors, friends, volunteers, and an excellent crew, renovations on the new building took many months of careful (and sometimes heavy) labour on the former bank building.  In January, 2010, the parish moved into the new facility, now an Orthodox Temple.  Then the parishioners were able to enjoy an accessible building, worthily appointed for the [https://orthodoxwiki.org/Worship worship of God], with meeting and fellowship space for the Faithful.  A newly-expanded Desert Wisdom Book-room opened around the Feast of [https://orthodoxwiki.org/Pascha Pascha], 2010.

The community has been blessed to receive many new converts to the Orthodox Christian Faith over the years.  There has been steady growth, perhaps because the community is deeply convinced of the need for an Orthodox mission in the English language in the hub of the "[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Horseshoe Golden Horseshoe]" region of southern Ontario.  The community prayerfully looks to our [https://orthodoxwiki.org/Theotokos Lord's Holy Mother] and [https://orthodoxwiki.org/List_of_American_Orthodox_saints all the saints of North America] for their intercession to send to this parish those who are truly willing to labour in the field.  

==Mission of Saint George, Brantford, 2015==

In 2015, in addition to the growth and development in Hamilton, the Church of All Saints fostered the [http://orthodoxcanada.ca/Brantford_ON_%E2%80%A0Saint_George_the_Victorious_Orthodox_Mission_2015-2020 establishment of a new mission] in the city of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brantford Brantford], Ontario, dedicated to [https://www.oca.org/saints/lives/2022/04/23/101184-greatmartyr-victory-bearer-and-wonderworker-george Saint George the Victorious].  The mission opened, under the blessing of [[Archbishop Irénée (Rochon)]], with the purchase of a former [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglican_Church_of_Canada Anglican church] building there.  The establishment of this mission was keeping in mind the spiritual potential not only in the city of Brantford itself, but also in the surrounding [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/County_of_Brant Brant County], the Region of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regional_Municipality_of_Waterloo Waterloo], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haldimand_County Haldimand County], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norfolk_County,_Ontario Norfolk County], and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxford_County,_Ontario Oxford County].  

==Archpastoral Visit, 2015==

During the visit, he presided at the Sunday [https://orthodoxwiki.org/Divine_Liturgy Divine Liturgy].

'''Orthodox Spirituality Series, 2017'''

On Saturday, 18 March, 2017, [https://www.oca.org/clergy/Michael-Oleksa/ Archpriest Michael Oleksa] had been invited by the parish to Hamilton, Ontario, where [https://www.archdiocese.ca/articles/many-cultures-one-faith-healing-society-through-orthodox-christian-living-hamilton-ontario he led a day of speaking] and reflection on the subject "Many Cultures, One Faith : Healing Society Through Orthodox Christian Living".  [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alaska_Natives Indigenous Alaska] is itself a territory of many cultures, as is the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthodox_Church_in_America_Diocese_of_Alaska Orthodox Christian Diocese of Alaska] itself.  The [https://orthodoxwiki.org/Orthodox_Church_in_America Orthodox Church in North America] is, because it subsists in a tri-national environment, is also in a territory of many cultures ; however, each of the countries is itself an entity of many cultures both because of the many and various indigenous peoples, and because of the many and varied cultures of immigration.  Father Michael led a consideration of the many ways culture hinders - and helps - the missionary work of the Church, and the ways it can be harnessed to strengthen the faith of each Christian.

'''Chinese Missions Dinner, 2019'''

On Sunday, 23 June, 2019, the parish [https://www.archdiocese.ca/articles/all-saints-north-america-parish-hosts-chinese-missions-dinner hosted the annual Chinese Missions Dinner].  On this occasion, the guest speaker was [https://orthodoxwiki.org/User:Frjohnwhiteford Archpriest John Whiteford], pastor of the [https://orthodoxwiki.org/Russian_Orthodox_Church_Outside_Russia Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia] (ROCOR) parish [https://saintjonah.org/ Saint Jonah Orthodox Church] in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spring,_Texas Spring], [https://saintjonah.org/ Texas].

'''Autumn presentation and conference, 2019'''

On 20 September, 2019, Archpriest Geoffrey presented a talk [https://www.archdiocese.ca/articles/upcoming-talk-facing-isolation-all-saints-north-america-church-hamilton  on the subject of loneliness] : “Christians...Lonely ? Facing Isolation and Loneliness in Christian Life”. 

The background consideration was that Christians are promised the reassuring Presence of Christ through trial and isolation.  What about when we feel alone, depressed, or without help ?  What are the causes of such feelings ; how should we address them ? When should (and shouldn't) they be accepted as a normal part of Christian life ?

==2020==

'''Closure of the Saint George Mission in Brantford, 2020'''

Despite the efforts of many to nurture the [https://orthodoxcanada.ca/Brantford_ON_†Saint_George_the_Victorious_Orthodox_Mission_2015-2020 Mission of Saint George] in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brantford Brantford], Ontario, into a stable community and parish, some necessary resources remained lacking.  As is the general experience in missionary work, a very important factor is the very frequent presence of a priest, and preferably the presence of a priest who is resident in the place of mission.  At that time, there was simply no priest available who could undertake this missionary work.  This was the main contributing factor to the inability of the mission to grow beyond its small group of Faithful.  It was a difficult experience for all concerned, but it was an important learning-experience.  

The last Divine Liturgy for the mission was served on 1 March, 2020, after which the mission was closed officially.

==2020-2021 Coronavirus-19 virus restrictions on parishes==

Because of the rules governing gatherings that were laid down by the provincial and city governments regarding the activity of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic Covid-19 Virus], the sobor stopped any further services after 8 March, 2020.  Including the rules regarding "[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_distancing social distancing]", the decreasing number permitted for any gathering, the considerations regarding the health of all concerned, and the directions of Archbishop Irénée (Rochon) that the civilian rules be obeyed, this parish was unable to have any more of the usual services in the Temple until the lifting of the restrictions.

==20th Anniversary==

On Sunday, 23 April (Thomas Sunday), nearly 100 friends and clergy from the previous 2 decades gathered in Hamilton, Ontario, to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of All Saints of North America Orthodox Church.   

Following the morning festal Divine Liturgy, clergy from Toronto, Niagara, and Ottawa joined His Eminence Archbishop Irénée (Rochon) at the head tables for a grand banquet to mark the missionary work of the parish over 20 years.

A replica of the Icon of the [https://www.oca.org/saints/lives/2019/06/28/101839-icon-of-the-mother-of-god-of-the-three-hands Mother of God of Three Hands] from Hilandar Monastery on Mount Athos was presented to Archbishop Irénée to mark the occasion.

A retrospective photo presentation was given, offering memories from the earliest years of the parish in [https://ststephenonthemount.wixsite.com/ssotm Saint Stephen’s Anglican Hall], and through their sojourn above the [https://www.olivieridental.ca/ Olivieri Dental Office].

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamilton_City_Council_(Ontario) Hamilton City Councillor] Tom Jackson presented rector Archpriest Geoffrey Korz with t2 commemorative plaques on behalf of the City, one marking the church anniversary, and one recognising his 20 years in the priesthood.  He also presented the parish with a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Hamilton,_Ontario City flag], to accompany the many flags of the saints that adorn the parish flagpole throughout the year (see the Saints section of the parish website at www.asna.ca for a full library of flags of the saints of the Orthodox Church).

Guests especially enjoyed the personal stories of the history and growth of All Saints of North America Church, from its early beginnings and struggles to the present day.  The Olivieri family shared their recollections of the years the Divine Liturgy was served each week above their dental office, and the labour of love invested by many faithful involved in transforming the disused office into an Orthodox temple and church hall.

Nadezhda Titova (honourary grandmother to everyone in the parish) gave a warm address on her first meeting  (by God’s providence, in a grocery store) with Father Geoffrey, and her warm welcome into the parish.

Father Geoffrey concluded the evening with an address, including the following remarks : 
  Our beloved Saint John Maximovitch reminds us how the Lord often allowed His Church to go 
  through various trials, during which, of course, it seemed that her end and destruction had come. 
  But after these trials, the victorious truth shone even brighter !
  
  Even today the Orthodox Church is going through terrible trials. It is at times like these that we 
  should call to mind the hymn that we sang outside the doors of our churches at Pascha : 'Let God 
  arise, and let His enemies be scattered ! (cf. Psalm 67:2)  Let us only take care, so that we do not 
  find ourselves among these enemies....
  
  The last twenty years have shown us the faces of so many friends of Christ, so many who love His 
  Church and the missionary work of His Church – for no other reason than to share Christ’s 
  Church with the world, without losing a single drop of the Holy Tradition received by the saints 
  and Fathers.
  
  We thank God for all these friends and brethren – especially for all our benefactors: some 
  extremely generous benefactors, who would never have found their way to help our parish, had it 
  not been for the grace of God....
  
  May God bless you and strengthen you, as we continue this missionary work for another 20 years !
