As a parish community, we’re grateful for the many improvements we’ve been able to make to our church building in recent years—thanks to your generosity, the One Heart One Soul campaign, and support from the Diocese. From upgrades to our sound and lighting systems, to kitchen renovations and safety improvements, these changes have helped us care for and preserve the space we gather in to worship, learn, and serve.
This fundraising mission is an invitation to continue being good stewards of our spiritual home. Below, you’ll find a summary of the completed projects and how they were funded, as well as building update videos from Fr. Gregory over the past few years.
Thank you for your continued support and care for Canadian Martyrs.
