The Mission of the Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board, in partnership with the family and church, is to provide, in a responsible manner, a Catholic education which develops spiritual, intellectual, aesthetic, emotional, social, and physical capabilities of each individual to live fully today and to meet the challenges of the future, thus enriching the community.
When people think of a church, they usually think of a building with stained-glass windows and peaked doorways. In reality, it is not the building that is the church but rather the community of people who use that building. St. John’s is blessed to have a vibrant community of faith led by people who are passionate and devoted.
We are a very active parish seeking to follow and serve Christ in our world, our community and our lives. If you crave community, have a passion for good music and are interested in growing in the Christian faith, then this parish is for you!
Full disclosure: We don’t pretend to have all of the answers. We will tell you what we believe the gospel message is saying about the topics that are raised. This truly is about walking a faith journey together. Come, challenge and be challenged. It will help all of us grow.
Life Point Fellowship Oshawa is a community of Christian believers that meets in person and online to explore God's truths through interactive gatherings, including Sunday services, small groups, and various events.
Just below, you will find an extended history of our parish of St. Joseph's here in Bowmanville. What is always clear in reading such a history is the knowledge that we are who we are because of the traditions and values of our parents and grandparents and a whole history of people who sought a world rich in gospel values, who had a faith tradition that gave their lives meaning and value and holiness. The history of our parish of St. Joseph's takes us back to 1850 when Fr. Michel Timlin came from St. Michael's Parish in Cobourg to celebrate Mass in people's homes. A church was built on the north side of Church Street, west of Division in 1867 and in 1958, the first Mass was celebrated on Christmas Eve in our present church here on Liberty Street.
During the time, when I was going through "THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH, with my LORD, the CATHOLIC CHURCH was there to help me. I received the WORD of GOD to encourage me, and participated in MASS, via television. GOD BLESS Pope Francis and the entire Catholic Church.Read more
