On December 15, 1919, at St. Jude’s, Roncesvalles Church, a memorial tablet was dedicated in honour of its 14 parishioners who lost their lives in the First World War. The ceremony was performed by Assistant Bishop of Toronto, William Day Reeve.
The original St. Jude’s opened in 1890 at 437 Roncesvalles Avenue in Toronto. After the new church was built in 1912, the original building served as the parish hall until 1929, when it was demolished to make way for a larger hall. In 1977, the parish was disestablished and the building was demolished in 2004. The St. Jude’s, Roncesvalles First World War Plaque went to a new St. Jude’s in Brampton which opened in May 1980.
