Saint Anthony Daniel Catholic Church Kitchener Ontario
A Photo Essay
I have lived in Waterloo Region for over 25 years now, since returning to university a second time as a mature student. I have slowly been exploring and discovering some of the parishes in my own back yard. Most of my time in town I have attended the Catholic Community at St. Jerome's University (And really miss the old Notre-Dame Chapel there), St Michael's Parish and since our children started Sacramental prep about 15 years ago Saint Agnes has been our home parish.
Over the last few years I have visited several other parishes for mass. In 2025 I attended the evening Ash Wednesday mass at Saint Anthony Daniel, I had been in the church on several occasions, where I just stopped in and prayed. The photo's below are a mix from Ash Wednesday 2025 and March 2019. The odd feature I find is the tabernacle is recessed in an alcove on the far left when facing the alter. As can be seen from some pictures below if you are in the furthest most left pews and even the next in you cannot see the tabernacle. I believe the tabernacle should be visible from every pew. But there are some great features in the main church, the chapel and the community centre.
The Ash Wednesday sermon in 2025 was a particularly interesting piece on forgiveness.
It is a beautiful church that is part of the Diocese of Hamilton. If you are in the area or just passing through check out the mass times. It is well worth the visit. I have enjoyed the times I have stopped in while the kids were at activities in the area to spend some time praying before the tabernacle.
