Catholic Church in Brampton, Ontario.
We moved to St. Mary's Parish in September of 2019. We are a Catholic lay group that follows the guidelines and regulations of our Parish, St Mary's Church, Archdiocese of Toronto, Padre Pio Prayer Group International Office in San Giovanni of Rotando and of the
Holy See in the Vatican. The groups is open to all Roman Catholics and meets every first Saturday, at St. Mary's Church.
The members are encouraged to follow the teachings and beliefs of the church in all of their actions. Praying for our parish, especially our ordained members. We are dedicated to praying with the Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV for his guidance and his prayer intentions.
