The Cardinal Electors have announced that the Conclave to elect the successor of Pope Francis will start on Wednesday, May 7, 2025.  We pray that the one who will be chosen will be after God's own heart.  While we await, let us pray:

Come, Holy Spirit,

fill the hearts of your faithful,

And kindle in them the fire of your love.

Send forth your Spirit, and they shall be created. And you will renew the face of the earth.

O God, eternal shepherd,

who govern your flock with unfailing care, grant in your boundless fatherly love a pastor for your Church who will please you by his holiness

and to us show watchful care.

Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen

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.
