Welcome to all things Centennial.

All Saints Church is marking the 100th anniversary of the dedication of its current church building with a year of commemoration, reflection and celebration focused on Engaging Our Past and Growing into God’s Future. The current church is the third building to serve the congregation since its founding in 1883 — the second at 132 Euclid — and marking the building’s 100th birthday is an opportunity for the parish to both engage in the past and imagine the future as a faith community committed to living out God’s love, justice and compassion in the world.
