Houses of Worship represent belonging.

Churches, synagogues, and other places of worship are central to a sense of community. Newcomers to Saint John, whether they were the first settlers or new immigrants, always considered a house of worship to be a top priority. Many of these buildings had humble beginnings: a simple frame structure quickly erected, an existing house or community building. But the aspirations represented by these buildings always led people to construct something grander. We offer here a sampling of some of the more historic examples of our dedication to faith.
