All Saints' Church was founded in 1889 by immigrants to Pittsburgh from England who desired a place for traditional Anglican worship in their home neighborhood.  Meeting at first on the second floor of Morrison's Drugstore at the corner of Woods Run and McClure, and later meeting at various sites in the neighborhood, All Saints did not have a permanent home until 1911.    That building was demolished in 1930 to make way for Ohio River Boulevard, and the present building was completed and consecrated in October of 1931. 

Over the years, All Saints has been a thriving parish with a vibrant outreach to the local community.  Everything from caring for orphans and school children to spaghetti dinners and social events has been based in the ministry of All Saints' Church. 

Nonetheless, shifts in the American culture, in the community of Brighton Heights and other factors have taken their toll on All Saints' Church.  The congregation's weekly attendance at Eucharist began to slip and greatly declined during a number of years in which there was no stable leadership.  All Saints' came dangerously close to closing.
