Our Mission

In the heart of the Lower North Shore, our Parish stands as a beacon of faith and community spirit, embracing all who seek solace and spiritual nourishment. With a rich history that weaves together the stories of St. Thomas', St. Leonard's, and St. Philip Neri, we are a tapestry of tradition and modernity. Our Parish is not just a place of worship but a vibrant community hub where individuals and families grow in faith, participate in ministry, and contribute to our shared mission of love and service. Join us in our journey of faith, hope, and love, as we strive to make a difference in the lives of those around us and beyond.
​
Guided by the Holy Spirit, we are the Body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:12-27) who comes together, united in the love that Jesus gives to us in his commandment to “love one another” (John 13:34). We go out into the world to make disciples (Matthew 28:19-20).
 
We express our mission in the following statement:
 
Together, in Christ’s love, for others.
​
We enact our Mission through:​
​
  1. Growing and strengthening our community
  2. Assisting parishioners to build a stronger relationship with God
  3. Worshipping the Lord
  4. Missionary action
  5. Leadership, nurturing and communication
