On April 16, our Bishop formally responded to the petition submitted by a large number of parishioners, requesting that the decree of suppression of the Parish be revoked, confirming the decision that St. Joseph Parish of Kitchener be suppressed as established, effective June 25, 2025. A group of parishioners recently sent a petition to the Holy See against the decree suppressing the Parish.

Pope Francis died on Easter Monday, April 21, 2025, at the age of 88 at his residence in the Vatican's Casa Santa Marta. We will pray for his eternal rest this Sunday the 27th at the 11 am Mass.

If we truly want Jesus to “stay with us,” it is essential that the Word of God continually shapes our thoughts, that the Eucharist becomes nourishment for our journey and serves as the backbone of our existence.

Behold the wood of the Cross, on which hung the salvation of the world.

"This is my Body... this is my Blood, says the Lord; do this in memory of me".
