Eldridge Greaves

Brother Elridge Greaves of Cornwall, Ontario was the first African-Canadian to receive the priesthood. Reg, as his friends call him, joined the Church with the knowledge that he would be unable to hold the priesthood, but he was a man of great faith and remains an inspiration to the members of the Cornwall Ward, where he resides.
