Collectively we are emerging from the challenges of COVID-19, many Catholics are returning to the sacraments, seeking a deeper connection with our Lord. St. Mary's Parish, supports me on this spiritual path. Reach out to the parish office, and resume this sacred journey together at St. Mary's Church in Kitchener, Ontario. With love, faith, and a shared purpose, I can continue to grow and shine my light in this world.
St. Mary's Parish is not just a place of worship; it's a radiant light that sets my heart ablaze, encouraging me to share my faith with others. This parish is not silent but active, weaving bonds in our community, providing shelter, and working tirelessly to end hunger in Downtown Kitchener. St Mary's is a vibrant parish with opportunities to share your gifts with impact! Grow and shine your light in this world

The pictures really don't do it justice, this is an absolutely gorgeous church, the music is pretty good and the mass was well done. Came to the 8: 30 mass and there were still quite a few people there, really lovely and would recommend wether you visit once while out of town or come back again and again. I wish this was in my home town!

I believe the mission of the Church has lost due to woke agenda of the current priest. Primary care of the Church is to look after the souls with proper Catholic teaching. Not social welfare of people. What a shame.

Whoever is still praying for snow-would you be willing to stop for a bit until all the old snow is cleared! I appreciate St Marys- a place you can publicly express your faith. It allows service supporting ReconciliACTION, A Better Tent City, Tiny Home takeout and ministries in the Mass. It is most welcoming including all who wish to praise together.

The Latin Mass offered here is great. I highly recommend all Catholics in the area to try out this Mass. Do not worry about the Latin, the homily is in English and they give out Latin-English Missals for you to follow along. If you are planning to attend the Latin Mass I do highly recommend that you do a quick search on the customs and traditions of the Mass (i.e. How you should dress, how you should consume the Eucharist etc.)

The church itself is beautiful and timeless inside and out. There are few churches in Canada that perform the Latin Mass.

Update: Unfortunately, they no longer offer the Latin Mass here.

Very beautiful Church that makes one want to spend time with God. The programs they provide really do try to bring out the best in the community while sticking towards Jesus's mission.

They have a food stand from 5-6: 30 and offered me soup for free. Very friendly and helpful Christians. Thank you.

Going to Mass is so comforting during this challenging time. At St. Mary's all protocol is followed. I have found community, uplifting music, traditional spirituality & thought provoking homilies. Plus they support initiatives to aid the homeless.

St. Mary's is a very welcoming and engaging church. Located in central downtown Kitchener, it has a spectacular architectural effect (oldest Catholic church in Kit), beautiful stained glass (worth a visit!). This past year and a half, St. Mary's has been focusing on Outreach and partnering with other community services (ie. The Working Centre, Mennonite Central Committee, etc.) to provide care and support to our neighbors in need in the downtown area. Early this winter, St. Mary's provided emergency Warming Centre sleepovers for over 100 people for almost 2 weeks as winter came upon us early this year. We also have a very active St. Vincent de Paul Society which distributes food to those in need twice a week. If you've been thinking of returning to Mass, consider St. Mary's. I guarantee a welcoming experience! St. Mary's has weekday Mass, Tues-Fri.at noon, and is also home to the Latin Mass congregation each Sun.at 3: 00 p.m. Introduce yourself, at the regular Masses, to Fr. Toby, Fr. Dan, Fr. Joseph and Rianne, the Outreach worker! They love to meet new friends! PLUS - Hearing aids available and sound system amazing!

God bless you and your church and all is does for our tricities!

The Latin Mass offered here is the best Sunday Mass I have ever been to. I highly recommend all practising Catholics in the area to try out this Mass. Do not worry about the Latin, the homily is in English and they give out Latin-English Missals for you to follow along. If you are planning to attend the Latin Mass I do highly recommend that you do a quick search on the customs and traditions of the mass (i.e. How you should dress, how you should consume the Eucharist etc.)

The church itself is beautiful and timeless inside and out. There are few churches in Canada that perform the Latin Mass so you are not going to want to miss out on this church.
(I am not sure about the other Mass times, but after the Latin Mass there are light foods to eat)

St. Mary's Church is very accessible esp from us coming from Fairview area. The train stop is just at the side of the parish office. They have daily Masses and I usually go to their 12nn Mass (they have 12nn Tue-Fri).

Great homily. Pastor and parishoners very welcoming. Will attend again when visiting Kitchener.

An earnest effort is underway to build community; a refuge against the decay both within the church universal and outside of it.

You sure feel his presence once in these walls. Kind of a spirit reawakened in you when you are in here.

Beautiful inside.
Attended wedding. Pianist was professional. Sang as well.

The steps are fairly close to the exit doors which may be a safety issue if people were in a hurry.
