Church of the Transfiguration: A Brief History

On January 31, 1892, the first service of the Church of the Transfiguration was conducted by a visiting Rector in the nearby Norwood Avenue School. By March, 1894 the church had it's first chapel, erected on our present site, and in June, 1894 the Transfiguration was admitted to union with the Diocese. The Rev. Dr. Donald A. Lavallee joined our church as a curate in 1965 and became Rector in 1967. He served as Rector until July of 1999. Our current Rector, Rev. Dr. Gary C. Lemery, joined the Transfiguration in February of 2000.

Many changes have occurred since that first service, but the mission of the Transfiguration has remained the same - to unite all who care and to spread the word that Christ is still living. We will always be a caring church, ministering in the name of Jesus Christ.
