Archdiocese of Toronto

Great place where Faith is nurtured! God bless!

Going there was a waste of time. They don't have clear method to explain how they select or reject doing the sponsorship request.

Called there a couple times and the people are not very friendly at all. Quite dry and uncooperative. I needed some information and a document neither which were complicated, but they weren't very nice at all over the phone. You would think that they'd practice what they preach....Love thy neighbour.... Help those in need etc..... It was a very rude awakening. Not impressed.

They are selective not in professional way regarding sponsorship for refugees. Simply refused to go forward with our request without proper reason.

Excellent services. The curial staff so kind for interviews and follow up your case. God bless all of them!!

The disappointment of being ignored by individuals within the Archdiocese of Toronto for a very questionable incident that I believe would be of concern to the Catholic Church is troubling. What is also disappointing is there has been no interest in reviewing the situation that has subsequently led to my concerns being ignored in what appears to be an attempt to intentionally suppress the situation. The incident involves a Catholic Church and Catholic school who circumvented an impending provincial lockdown order due to the COVID 19 pandemic hours after its announcement by rescheduling (at the last minute) the sacrament of Confirmation to students of the school. With this decision, families were hastily contacted some eighteen hours before the rescheduled time which was effectively a “take it or leave it” proposition. It is not difficult to see the many wrongs in this situation in a general societal perspective but given the parties involved and in the name of a Holy Sacrament makes this situation very disturbing. Furthermore, the subsequent recognition and accolades given to those involved with the rescheduling and the participants that day were clearly at the expense of humiliation and shame of some who did not. I have many questions for the Catholic Church and I would hope someone would have interest and the courtesy of at the very least of hearing the details and reviewing this situation. Some details have been communicated to the Archdiocese, others I have been unable to convey as the Archdiocese of Toronto feels this is a parish related issue and not of broader concern to the Catholic Church. Among my many questions are two very specific ones that I have asked in reply to the only response to my multiple emails to the Archdiocese of Toronto. This reply was clearly from someone who was not fully informed of the situation or the details that were provided and have yet to receive a reply from anyone at the Archdiocese of Toronto.

Owen Keenan, ex-pastor of Merciful Redeemer Church in Mississauga should not be reinstated. We are surprised he remained Pastor for so long considering his adverse behavior. It's a concern what additional damage will be done to the Church if attendees like DSouza, continue to obey Owen's outrageous demand for protests of the Archdiocese's decision. Cardinal Collins made the right decision. It could have been a couple years sooner, but never the less he made it finally.

How the church became a corporation and backstabbed its own brothers and sisters… Refers to asking everybody to get a vaccine and saying it is to stop the spread and transmission when both of those things are not even included in the vaccine… Clearly they are getting their information from a bank transfer because I have yet to see a study CDC report WHO report or anything equivalent with stopping spread or transmission… Only infectious in hospitalizations… So how does it work that a parishioner your brothers and sisters that are supposed to follow you as a shepherd of them, could be just as transmissible and it could get it just the same as an unvaccinated person but yet you require that with which science? I would love to see a single study… Until then… Beware because judgement day is when we leave this world to the next and I don’t think the gates of heaven are that widely open unfortunately… God have mercy on your souls and with all the literature that the church should know in history it is a bit embarrassing that my children under four years old probably know more than the Catholic Church both about God and COVID-19.. Jesus didn’t even segregate his son with leprosy how much more his other children with no sickness at all… How embarrassing this Catholic Church has become.
