The Parish

We are a Catholic community within the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Toronto.  We are located in northwest Mississauga.  Our parish was created in 2008 under the patronage of St. Josephine Bakhita, by His Eminence Thomas Cardinal Collins, D.D.   Our worship space was opened on the feast of our patron saint, February 8, 2018 and was solemnly dedicated on May 6, 2018.  


OUR MISSION

The Mission of the Parish is to be a Catholic, multicultural community, called to witness and proclaim, to celebrate and share the Hope and Charity we have in Jesus Christ as exemplified by St. Josephine Bakhita, our "universal sister" and "model of hope for the twenty-first century".  We are a people who were together this neighbourhood as:


  • A community of faith, committed to live the Greatest Love of Jesus Crucified and Mary, Mother of Charity at the foot of the Cross
  • A community of prayer nourished by the Word of God, the Eucharist, and the traditions of the Church, reflected in the way we live and celebrate.
  • A community that welcomes every man and woman, child and youth to equal discipleship
  • A community that is missionary, open to the needs of the world, committed to the promotion of justice, peace, and the stewardship of creation.
  • A community that is not afraid to face the pain and yet deeply trust in the hope that saves.


We believe that each one is called to be the strand that God will use to weave a tapestry that is intricate and exquisite in this place.
