All Saints Episcopal Church, Pasadena
All Saints Episcopal Church, located in Pasadena, is a prominent member of the Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles. Established in November 1882, the church began when eleven individuals congregated in the home of Mr. and Mrs. C.C. Brown for services led by the Reverend Trew. By Easter Day of 1885, the congregation dedicated its first church building at the intersection of Colorado Boulevard and Garfield Avenue. The church experienced rapid growth, necessitating a move to a new site on North Euclid Avenue, where a 600-seat church was constructed and first used on Easter Day, 1889.
The congregation continued to expand, leading to the construction of the current church building in 1923, which opened its doors in 1924. This building, designed in the English Gothic style, has served the community since then. Along with the main church, the parish hall and rectory were added in 1926-1927, creating an integrated courtyard that enhances the site's architectural harmony. In 1980, the National Park Service recognized All Saints Church as a Contributing Structure to the Pasadena Civic Center District by listing it on the National Register of Historic Places.
All Saints Church is renowned for its liberal stance within the Southern California religious community and is one of the largest Episcopal churches in the United States. The church has a long-standing tradition of political activism, which, according to former Rector Ed Bacon, is deeply embedded in its DNA. This activism is a hallmark of the church鈥檚 identity, influencing its mission and outreach programs.
