If we had no hope in the Lord, what would we do in this world?

Help us to build our church

Mission

The Mission of the Parish is to be a Catholic, multicultural community of faith, in the emerging neighbourhood west of Winston Churchill in Mississauga, 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 "univeral sister" (Pope John Paul II) and "model of hope for the twenty-first century" (Pope Benedict XVI).

Vision

We are a people who weave together this neighbourhood as:

  • A community of faith, committed to live the Greatest Love of Jesus Christ 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 woman and man, young and old, of all cultures, to equal discipleship in Jesus Christ.
  • A community that is missionary, open to the needs of the world, committed to the promotion of justice, peace, and stewardship of creation.
  • A community that is not afraid to face its pain and yet deeply trust "in the hope that saves."
We believe that each one [of us] is called to be the strand that God will use to weave a tapestry in this place; a tapestry that will be intricate and exquisite.

At evening time I used to take the crucifix that Signor Cecchini had given me and I used to pray in my room. At that time I had to work in the sacristy. I liked getting the altar ready, the sacred vessels and vestments for Mass, keeping everything clean and tidy. I tried to serve my Master in every way I could, and, if I got a spare moment to myself, I used to do a bit of embroidery and then give it away as a present. Then I was given the door-keeper's job. I enjoyed greeting the children from the nursery school; they used to hug and kiss me. They used to say, "Good morning, Mother Moretta!"
Our parish offers the Liturgy of the Word for Children in all our Sunday Masses at St. Joan of Arc School Chapel to assist our young parishioners to understand the Word of God at their own level. Children from JK to Grade 4 are invited to participate. No registration is required.

How is it conducted: We begin the Holy Mass together as a community. After the customary greeting, the priest or deacon invites the children to come forward, welcomes them, say a few words, and gives them a blessing. The Catechists and their team of volunteers will gather the children at the Chapel for their own Liturgy of the Word. They are escorted back to their parents at the Offertory (Preparation of the Gifts).

O God, our Father, liberty for the oppressed and comfort for the poor, you call men and women, young and old, from all nations to experience the blessedness of freedom and faith. Inflame the hearts of your children with the desire to reach the same holiness with which you filled St. Josephine Bakhita, our universal sister and model of hope, and grant that, faithful to your commandments, we too, may serve you with the same purity of heart through Christ our Lord. Amen.
