St. Benedict's Parish History

St. Benedict was established as a diocesan parish in the Toronto Archdiocese by Cardinal McGuigan in June 1955.

Until the church building was completed in 1957, the founding pastor, Fr. Gerald Breen, and the faith community of St. Benedict celebrated Mass at various locations: White’s Hardware Building (Rexdale Blvd.), Elmlea Public School and the church hall. The first Mass in the church was celebrated on September 29, 1957. For twenty-eight years, the parish remained a diocesan parish.

Since 1983, St. Benedict has been served by the Salesians of St. John Bosco. The Salesian Society, founded by Don Bosco (Italian for Fr. Bosco) in 1859, was named after St. Francis de Sales who was known for his kind and gentle manner, a trait which Don Bosco wanted his Salesians to acquire. The Salesian Society represents the congregration which Don Bosco personally established to launch new approaches in new initiatives for the education of youth.

The special mission of the Salesians entrusted with the pastoral care of the St. Benedict parish community is to witness to, share, nurture and develop Don Bosco’s educational method popularly called ‘the preventive system’. It is not a system at all, but a lifestyle, an educational approach, a pastoral method, and a spiritual heritage. In exercising their ministry to the young, the poor, the vulnerable, the Salesians inspire a Gospel lifestyle which leads to holiness of life. The Salesians are committed to collaborative ministry among all members of the Church.

Over the years, St. Benedict has had a fine string of pastor, each with his own distinct style, all of them dedicated to the leadership role entrusted to them. Let us never tire of praying for our priests, and praying also for new vocations to the priesthood who will continue the good work these men have begun.

The power of Christian prayer Listen, my friend!
Listen, my friend! Your helplessness is your best prayer. It calls from your heart to the heart of God with greater effect than all your uttered pleas. He hears it from the very moment that you are seized with helplessness, and He becomes actively engaged at once in hearing and answering the prayer of your helplessness.
