Who we are
Welcome to Saint Benedict Parish!
We believe that all are called to be on a spiritual journey and what matters is not where a person is on that journey, but actually being on the journey itself. Therefore, we seek to welcome all people regardless of the stage of their spiritual life, their struggles and failures.
Join us for Mass on Sunday! We'd like you to join us in person, but another way to join us online. We stream our Sunday 9am Mass every week, click here to watch!
When you do join us in person, please stop by the Welcome Centre for more information and to say hello.
You’re welcome to bring your children with you to Mass. Or, if you’d prefer, we have Wee One’s Word (WOW) which is church for wee ones, during the 9am Mass (year round).
We also have SHINE during the 9am and 11:15am Sunday Masses. SHINE is for elementary-aged children, takes place on the lower level (auditorium) and parents are asked to drop their children off (and sign them in) before Mass begins. Children (who are receiving Communion, or those preparing for the Sacrament) will then join their families upstairs at Mass at the mid-way point (other children can remain downstairs for the duration of Mass, at the discretion of their parents).

Saint Benedict Parish History
Teach us to serve Thee
Teach us, good Lord, to serve Thee as Thou deservest: To give and not to count the cost; To fight and not to heed the wounds; To toil and not to seek for rest; To labour and not ask for any reward, save that of knowing that we do Thy will.
