After receiving a warm welcome in the Hamilton Diocese 15 years ago, the time has come to buy a permanent residence. This will solidify our roots in the community so we can further grow our mission in communion with the local clergy.
What is our Mission?
Our Charism as Legionaries of Christ is to form lay people who will take part in projects of evangelization and who will foster Christian life in the local community.

Current Accommodation
We are currently paying $3,700/month for rent. We have paid more than $500,000 in rent over the last 15 years. This house project will help us use our resources more effectively.
What are we looking for?
We are seeking a 5-bedroom house with space for a chapel, a living room and a reception room. We plan to be 5 Legionaries in the next few years.
Location
Ideally in Oakville, Burlington or South of Milton as most of our ministry is in this area. Close to the QEW would allow easy access to support our missions in the adjoining communities.
Financial Request
We currently have funds of $476,000 to go towards a permanent home. We are seeking to fundraise an additional $1.2 – $1.6m to make this a reality.
Big but Possible!
This is a big endeavour but it is an important step in solidifying our roots in the local community so we can continue serving. We believe it is possible to achieve with the Lord’s grace and with your generosity.
Timeline
The fundraising campaign will conclude by October 31st, 2024. At such time we hope to be in a position to place a deposit for the new accommodation.

Testimonials
Let’s unite our prayers to Saint Joseph to whom we have entrusted this project:
Pray With Us
Remember, O most chaste spouse of the Virgin Mary, that never has it been known that anyone who asked for your help and sought your intercession was left unaided. Full of confidence in your power, I hasten to you, beg intercession for this project and your protection for my family. Listen, O foster-father of the Redeemer, to my humble prayer, and in your goodness hear and answer me.
Amen.
