A parish is a small, geographic area, and a lighthouse is just really bright!  So the parish lighthouse initiative is an intentional lifestyle of every follower of Jesus shining brightly on their street, and in their neighbourhood. Jesus has placed us into our specific communities, and we want to shine like a city on a hill where we live, but we need to be intentional because life get's really busy, really fast, and we can find ourselves years in our neighbourhoods and not knowing more than the names of our neighbours.  So we're encouraging you to be intentional in eating together, listening to stories of your neighbours and celebrating and blessing them as you grow to know them.  We gather as believers every 6 weeks in our neighbourhood groups to eat and fellowship together too, so contact us to find out who is leading your neighbourhood parish lighthouse initiative.  

We as Jesus followers acknowledge that our church home is located in the customary and traditional lands of the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Haudenosaunee, the Anishinaabe and the Attiwanderonk.  As Canadians we have a terrible secret that is not so secret anymore that we have to both acknowledge and work towards reconciliation with our Indigenous sisters and brothers. As Christians we acknowledge the part the church played in the physical and spiritual abuse of both adults and children and the evil we perpetrated towards our fellow image bearers of God. While we can't change the past, we can play our part in seeking forgiveness, reconciliation and learning how to be the living hands and feet of Jesus to those still suffering from the abuses of both church and government across Canada.
