St Mary of the Incarnation 2.57

St Mary of the Incarnation is our active parish located at 4125 Metchosin Road next to Witty's Beach Parking lot and across the street from the Metchosin Golf Course. We are within the Greater Victoria regional municipality of Metchosin.

We are a member parish of the Anglican Church of Canada and regionally we are a part of the Anglican Diocese of British Columbia. Our diocesan web site offers a succinct set of statements about who we are as a church and as a part of the whole body of Christ.

Our original historic church building, St Mary the Virgin is located at 4354 Metchosin Rd near the junction of Happy Valley Rd just east of the My Chosin Cafe. This original parish site is known for the wild lilies which cover the ground in the spring. St. Mary the Virgin was built and consecrated in Metchosin in 1873 and was used continuously as the Anglican parish church until 1991 when the church of St. Mary of the Incarnation was built and consecrated. The congregation subsequently moved to its new location at 4125 Metchosin Rd.

St Mary the Virgin is maintained as an historical site and is periodically used for church services, weddings, funerals, and other events as required. The cemetery is not only an historical site but it is still being used for burials today. A dedicated group of local volunteers maintain the buildings and grounds on a year round basis. The current congregation of St Mary of the Incarnation and the Diocese of British Columbia manage this historical site.
