I am excited to share the completed Interactive 3D Experience for the historic Saint Alban the Martyr Anglican Church in Glen Williams, Ontario. Built in 1892, this beautiful Anglican church has long been a cornerstone of the community—its architecture, stained glass, and sacred atmosphere tell a story that deserves to be experienced by everyone.
The church was designed by Francis Spence Baker (1867–1926), a leading architect of the Edwardian era in Toronto and a native son of nearby Kilbride, Halton County. F.S. Baker went on to become the 2nd President of the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada (1910–1912) — a remarkable distinction for a man who left his mark right here in his own backyard.
My work focuses on enabling deeper connection, greater accessibility, and long‑term preservation of meaningful spaces like this. Through immersive digital experiences, churches and heritage sites can welcome visitors from anywhere, share their history in new ways, and safeguard their legacy for future generations.

If your organization is looking to enable broader engagement or preserve your space digitally, I’d love to help bring your story to life.

Architectural Ingenuity at Immaculate Conception Church in Formosa, Ontario known as "The Cathedral of the North". Designed by prominent church Architect, Joseph Connolly, it is a masterpiece of of High Victorian Gothic Revival Style. The church was built with "true grit" by the local German parishioners, all of the limestone was locally quarried and hauled by hand and Oxen. The tower and spire make it a landmark that can be seen for miles across the Bruce County countryside. The interior features intricate gothic altars hand-carved by Nicholas Durrer who was a local craftsman and parishioner. True fact, this cathedral was built around and over the existing church which continued with services. Upon completion, the existing church was dismantled and carried out through the doors!

This weekend marks the final farewell for the much treasured Loyola House in Guelph - a spiritual retreat house operating since 1964. Generations of retreatants have been moved at Loyola House and have formed endearing relations with the much beloved retreat house.
Prior to the announcement, I had been exploring the possibility of doing a virtual tour of the retreat house. The idea behind this was to:
- Celebrate the beauty of the chapel and preserve it's history.
- Extend the reach of the "experience" of Loyola House beyond physical boundaries so that visitors, both past and present, could experience it digitally.
- For those who are not able to travel or have mobility issues, that they may still experience the serenity of the chapel.
- Also to serve as a canvas for digital story telling to recall historical notes.
Unfortunately, the project was halted once the news became known, however, I did do the following demo which I am making available. I invite you to explore the chapel once more in this digital form.

The Gladys Hanna Chapel in Rockwood Ontario. Designed by local architect Charles Simon Architect & Planner and built in 1991. Gladys Hanna was a Rockwood resident who donated the money for the project.

->> A virtual tour of the chapel can be found here: https://my.matterport.com/show/?m=DSEcB59jDa7

- The goal of the project was to design a chapel where all faiths would feel welcome.
- The chapel is on a busy street, so the design features protective features to create a sense of serenity inside.
- The materials are meant to reflect the local area of rock and wood (hence, Rockwood).
- The curved roof is clever in that it collects rainwater that then drains into a cistern at the front, as there is no water on site for watering flowers.

Also featured is a 360 photo which is best viewed on a laptop or desktop. The chapel is operated by Guelph/Eramosa Township.

St. Sylvester RC Church in the Township of Nipigon and is under the care of the Red Rock Indian Band. Established in 1852 as an original Jesuit mission.
From the Nipigon municipal site:
It was established in 1852, and is locally called Opoo-gan-asin (Pipestone). The first mass was celebrated on February 29, 1852, in the Hudson Bay Company barn. Located on an old fur trade route, the Lake Helen area has often been the scene of great activity, particularly during the construction of the transcontinental railway. Father Joseph Herbert (Natainabow leander) built the priest's house and Father D. Duranquet (Waiashtestkang—Gives Light) accompanied by the local Indians selected the spot on which the church was built which was completed in 1877 Jesuit Brothers decided to have this church built along their water route, which served as a rest stop before going to the Jesuit Missions at Gull Bay, White Sand, Nipigon House, Grand Bay and McIntre Bay on Lake Nipigon. The original bell brought to Lake Helen by Delaronde was blessed by Rev. Joseph Specht SJM on October 7, 1880.
For more information about the Church and its history please contact Red Rock Indian Band at 1-877-887-2510."
