St. Mark's Church, Niagara-on-the-Lake, is the oldest Anglican community in the Diocese of Niagara and is the oldest continuously used church west of Quebec. It was established by the first resident missionary of Niagara, Rev. Robert Addison, in 1792. The church, completed as early as 1794 and no later than 1804, was damaged by fire during the War of 1812 and was subsequently restored.
