History
Leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints first
entered Canada in the winter of 1829-30 seeking ways to finance the
publication of the Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus
Christ. In 1830, Phineas Young traveled to Earnestown. Though not a
member of the Church at that time, he preached about the Book of
Mormon.
Early in June 1832, Young
returned to Canada, this time as a convert to the Church in the
company of five other missionaries. Their preaching helped attract
enough member to create four branches of the Church. Other
missionaries, including Church founder Joseph Smith, visited
Ontario in October 1833 and July 1837. Between 1830 and 1850, an
estimated 2,500 Canadians, mostly from Ontario, joined the Church.
Most of these early members gathered with other Latter-day Saints
in the western United States. By 1861, the Ontario census listed
only 74 Latter-day Saints. Missionary work progressed
slowly in eastern Canada until a mission was organized in 1919.
That year, branches were organized in Toronto and Hamilton. Another
was organized in Kitchener in 1923. The Ottawa Branch was created
in July 1926. The St. Catharine's Branch was organized in 1933. The
Oshawa Branch began in 1947 after functioning off and on as a
Sunday School since 1944. Membership throughout eastern Canada
reached 1,974 in 1950. The first Latter-day Saint
meetinghouse in eastern Canada was dedicated in Toronto in 1939
where the first eastern stake (similar to a diocese) was organized
in 1960. The Toronto Temple was completed in 1990. On 1 July 1993,
a second mission was created in Toronto. For Journalist Use Only John A. Farrington
