After a significant absence of going to Church, I was nervous to go back to Church. One of my grandchildren was going receive the sacrament of baptism, so that was a good time for me to test the waters. I have been a happy parishioner since that day. – Maya
I have felt the love and support of everyone especially since my husband, Ross, passed away eleven years ago. I would be lost without my St Al’s family and the amazing staff who work so hard to encourage and foster our faith journey. – Donna

Attending St. Alphonsus led me to follow a new path and become a Catholic. Our children are now altar servers, making them feel privileged to be such a special part of the church. We have been blessed as a family in many ways and it is our honour to give financially to the church; it makes us feel good knowing God has blessed us and we are able to give back to Him through His church. – the Recker family

Every weekend, no matter our circumstances when we come to church, we feel welcomed, accepted, nourished, and loved by our family at St. Alphonsus. I could fill a book with all the reasons we love this church!
CHURCH TRUTH
It was with utmost apprehension and a bleak future that we landed here in Canada about 9 years ago from India to make this land our home. The warm community that I find here in St Alphonsus is astounding, like no other. Some of the fellow parishioners we met here have become friends forever and are now almost like family. We feel extremely blessed to be part of this community of faith. – the Karthik Family

I was at a meeting with the Parish Pastoral Teams from our own Diocese. The bishop said that we need to have 3 great things to start with to be a vibrant community: Hospitality, Homilies, and Hymns. I shared at lunch with our group, some information that you mentioned about your church. It seems like your church may be a great model for us. – A parishioner’s friend
