Several years ago, our community was conceived as an informal gathering of lay people in Hamilton who were inspired by St Maria’s devotion to the least fortunate during the deeply troubled times of the Second World War.
We began by organizing opportunities to contribute to our community and by gathering regularly for communal prayer and fellowship.
The fruits of our prayer, fellowship, and contribution made it clear that a new mission was ready to be born.
Establishment
With the prayers, guidance, and blessing of our beloved Archbishop Irénée our mission was established on July 20th, 2020 when we all received the Eucharist together on the feast day of our patroness, St Maria of Paris.
Family
We are a family that gathers around the table of worship.
We are brothers and sisters who see the face of Christ in every person we encounter.
We are fathers and mothers who nurture and welcome both friends and strangers.
