Holy Child Jesus Church

Holy Child Jesus Church

Established in 1910, this Roman Catholic parish has been a cornerstone of the Richmond Hill community for over a century. In September 2020, it merged with St. Benedict Joseph Labre Church to form the "Richmond Hill Catholic" Parish, also known as Holy Child Jesus-Saint Benedict Joseph Labre Parish. Despite the merger, each church maintains its own office and continues to serve the community with distinct identities. (catholicmasses.org)
