COVID-19 UPDATE

The Archdiocese of Toronto has announced a re-opening timeline.

While the government has indicated that places of worship may open as of 12:01 a.m. on June 12, we recognize the extensive protocols that must be in place to safely re-open our churches.

These include the training of clergy, staff and volunteers as well as ensuring appropriate cleaning supplies, signage and capacity control mechanisms can be prepared. Mindful that we are still in a period of pandemic, our goal is to ensure we can welcome the faithful and provide a safe environment for all.

Recognizing these challenges and balancing them with the understandable desire of the faithful to return to their spiritual home, I would ask all parishes to adopt the following timeline:
opening churches for private prayer/adoration, moving to daily Mass for the public and finally returning to Sunday Masses throughout the archdiocese.

June 12 – 13, 2020 – period of preparation for parishes. Churches remain closed.

Sunday, June 14, 2020 – On the feast of Corpus Christi, parishes are asked to open
their doors throughout the day for private prayer and adoration only.

Monday, June 15, 2020 – Churches may open for private prayer.

Tuesday, June 16, 2020 – Churches may open for private prayer.

Wednesday, June 17, 2020 – Churches may begin to celebrate daily Mass for the public.

Please note the Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus (June 19) and the Memorial of the Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary (June 20).

Weekend of June 20/21, 2o20 – weekend Masses may resume

It's been more than 4 years since the last mass times update. Please make sure to contact the church to confirm mass times.

St. Paschal Baylon Parish History

St. Paschal Baylon Catholic Church was established on October 1, 1957, by His Eminence James C. Cardinal McGuigan, Archbishop of Toronto.

The Most Rev. Francis A. Marrocco, Auxiliary Bishop of Toronto and pastor of St. Edward’s Parish realized there was a great need for a new parish because of the growth of Italian and other ethnic families moving into the areas.

Two priests form the Society of St. Charles were assigned, Fr. Vincent Lo Savio as pastor and Fr. Ralph Villella as assistant pastor, both fluent in English and Italian.

A house on Meadowview Avenue was rented The first Mass was celebrated on October 27, 1957, Feast of Christ the King, at the North York Veterans’ Hall, just south of Steeles Avenue on Yonge Street. On weekdays, Mass was celebrated in that house. For eight months, baptisms, weddings and funerals took place at St. Edward’s Church. In April of 1958, eight months after the Parish was established, the site of the new church was purchased.

The ground breaking ceremony took place in May 1959. On Sunday December 20, 1959, about 1000 people attended the inauguration of the new Church by His Eminence James C. Cardinal McGuigan.

On October 1, 1966, Fr. Lo Savio, the first pastor of St. Paschal church, was transferred to New England States. And Fr. Ralph Villella was appointed pastor. In October 1967 Fr. Lo Savio was invited back to take part in the 10th Anniversary Celebration and on this occasion, he was presented with a bronze plaque placed in the entrance of the Church which reads” “On this, the 10th Anniversary of the Founding of St. Paschal Baylon Parish, this plaque is dedicated to its first pastor Reverend Vincent Lo Savio, of the Missionary Fathers of St. Charles, and to all those pioneer priests and parishioners who, by their sacrifices, made this Church a reality. October 30 1967.A.D.”

Fr. Ralph Villella remained pastor until October 1973.

On December 29, 1978, the parishioners of St. Paschal’s were grieved to learn of the death of their Founder, Fr. Vincent Lo Savio.

Learn to know Christ
Learn to know Christ and him crucified. Learn to sing to him, and say, Lord Jesus, you are my righteousness, I am your sin. You have taken upon yourself what is mine and given me what is yours. You have become what you were not so that I might become what I was not.
