Our Parish
Our Mission
In the heart of the Lower North Shore, our Parish stands as a beacon of faith and community spirit, embracing all who seek solace and spiritual nourishment. With a rich history that weaves together the stories of St. Thomas', St. Leonard's, and St. Philip Neri, we are a tapestry of tradition and modernity. Our Parish is not just a place of worship but a vibrant community hub where individuals and families grow in faith, participate in ministry, and contribute to our shared mission of love and service. Join us in our journey of faith, hope, and love, as we strive to make a difference in the lives of those around us and beyond.
​
Guided by the Holy Spirit, we are the Body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:12-27) who comes together, united in the love that Jesus gives to us in his commandment to “love one another” (John 13:34). We go out into the world to make disciples (Matthew 28:19-20).
We express our mission in the following statement:
Together, in Christ’s love, for others.
​
We enact our Mission through:
-
Growing and strengthening our community

Our Vision:
To know and love God, and be Christ to one another.
We commit to be a welcoming, nurturing and vibrant Catholic community, that embodies the teachings and example of Jesus Christ, reaching outwards, bringing the joy of the Good News to all people and being attentive to the needs of others. Our Mission and Vision will guide our missionary activities.
