St. Patrick's Catholic Church Toronto Mass Times

Denomination: Roman Catholic

We are a welcoming, diverse, inner-city community of believers, united in the Catholic Faith. Through spirit-filled worship, education and outreach, we are called to live out the Gospel in our contemporary world.

St. Patrick’s Church is an English and German speaking parish located in downtown Toronto. St. Patrick’s Church is served by the Redemptorists of the Edmonton-Toronto Province and is the National Shrine of Our Mother of Perpetual Help.

Die deutsche St Patricks Gemeinde übernimmt seit Jahrzehnten die Seelsorge der deutschsprachigen Katholiken in der Erzdiözese Toronto unter der Leitung des Redemptoristenordens. So versucht sie, zwischen der einstigen Heimat vieler Auswanderer und der Kultur Kanadas Brücken zu schlagen. Seit Juni 2011 bildet die deutsche Gemeinde einen Teil von St Patrick und wird von Pater Santo Arrigo C.Ss.R. betreut.

Die Kolping Society und Legio Mariens tragen das Vereinsleben der Gemeinde. Beide Vereine nehmen neue Mitglieder jederzeit gerne auf.

Außerdem treffen sich die Gemeindemitglieder einmal pro Woche im Anschluss an den sonntäglichen Gottesdienst in der Pfarrhalle zu einem gemütlichen Beisammensein. Dazu sind Gäste herzlich willkommen.

The German St Patrick's parish has, for decades, taken on the pastoral care of German-speaking Catholics in the Archdiocese of Toronto under the leadership of the Redemptorists. It thus tries to build bridges between the former home of many emigrants and the culture Canada’s. Since June 2011 it is a part of St. Patrick and is under the pastoral care of Father of Santo Arrigo C.Ss.R.

The Kolping Society and Legion of Mary as clubs bring life to the community. Both clubs are happy to accept new members at any time.

In addition, members of the community meet once a week following the Sunday service in the parish hall for coffee. New guests are always welcome.
