Until the early 1950's, Sunday Mass was celebrated at the home of the Reddy family as a mission of the St. John the Evangelist parish in Windsor. By 1952 the worshipping community had grown large enough and so liturgies were moved to the Community Hall. In June of 1957 the doors to a new church were opened and by 1959 the parish became a mission of St. John Vianney. In September of 1984, with the help of volunteer labor, a new multi-functional building was opened on the present site, and between1994–2000, the church facility was reshaped into the present condition.

We believe that by changing the course of young lives we can in turn be changing the course of a community's future. That it could lead to a reduction in poverty and unemployment. Or to safer schools and neighbourhoods. Or to a renewed optimism for growth. That it could even lead to change on a broader, more far-reaching scale.
We believe that opening a child's eyes to what is - opens their mind to what could be.
