Who we are
Croatian priests arrived in Kitchener already in 1970 to celebrate the masses and other services with the Croatians in the area. The parish was canonically established in 1975, and the first pastor was Rev. Vladimir Stanišić. Together with his parishioners, he purchased a tract of land on which was built a very beautiful church and rectory in 1979/1980. A spacious parish hall was constructed in 1984. Rev. Stanišić remained in the parish until 1989, when the Croatian Franciscan Custody took charge of the parish.
From 1970 to 1995 in the parish 465 children were baptized, 86 individuals were buried, 82 couples were married, 192 children were confirmed and 67 children received First Holy Communion. Masses and rites are held in Croatian and English.

Grant that I may not pray alone with the mouth; help me that I may pray from the depths of my heart.
