St.Matthias Church Boralesgamuwa,celebrated 100 years on 31st January 2009. Parish records indicate that the foundation stone of the building was laid on 04th February 1907.The actual consecration took place almost two years later on 3e January 1909. Rev.J.W.Balding was the first Vicar. The land on which the Church was built was owned by Mrs.Harriet Dorathea Ratnayake(nee Ruberu). Dr.Abeyratne,a philanthropist of that era,constructed the Church and also the adjoining School building. In recognition, the road was named after him. The earliest parishioners were close family members and relatives of Mr.Don Joseph Ratnayake and his wife Harriet (the owner of the land). The Church of St.Luke's Mampe,Piliyandala has been and remains, from its inception in 14th August 1880,the Sister Church. The Priest-in-charge of St.Lukes is also the Priest-in-charge of St.Matthias Boralesgamuwa. In the latter part of 2003 a Vicarage was built, within the Church compound. Fr.Brian Perera(then a Brother) became the first resident as an assistant to Fr.Ranjith Perera,the Vicar. There are 86 parishioners on the current Electoral Roll.
