St. John of the Cross Church History
Parish History
In the later 1970's, the Markvale Corporation began the planning for a development in the far West reaches of the Archdiocese of Toronto. The building of houses began in 1977 and slowly, but surely, Meadowvale began to take shape. In the beginning, Fr. Law, the Pastor of St. Joseph's Church in Streetsville, offered a Sunday Eucharist for Meadowvale Catholics in the Library of St. Richard's School. Soon, the Library was too small; then Mass was offered in the Gymnasium of the School.
On April 15, 1978, Archbishop Philip Pocock formally opened the new Meadowvale Parish. He entrusted the Community to the leadership of the Carmelite Fathers and particularly to Fr. Philip Nessinger, O. Carm., the first Pastor. In the twenty years since the formation of the Parish, various Carmelites, Religious women, Deacons and Lay Pastoral Associates have served on the Parish Staff. Fr. Robert Primozic was the first of the Carmelite Assoicate pastors in the Parish, followed by Armand Mayville, Terrence Cyr, Emmett Gavin, Dennis Graviss, Mark Schaffner, Felix Prior, Robert Boley, Leonard Gilman and Joyson Pottackal. Fr. Marcel Dubé became the second Pastor of the parish in June, 1987. Fr. Leo succeeded him as pastor in June 1999. Sisters Marie MacNamara, C.S.J., Sr. Mary Mallany, I.B.V.M. and Sr. Jacqueline de Verteuil, C.S.J., also served on the Parish Team at different times. From 1989 to June 2008 Mrs. Julie Flynn served as a pastoral associate. From 1992 to 2016 Mrs. Kate Watkiss servered as a pastoral associate. Sister Ria T. Angostura, MSCS, joined the parish as Pastoral Associate as September 1st, 2016.
Saint John of the Cross has been a Parish marked by growth from its beginning. The Parish now has over 4,500 families listed on the Parish rolls.
On February 20, 1982, ground was broken for the new Church. The building was finished and the dedication was held on Sunday, December 12, 1982. Many of the original parishioners from the days of the liturgies in the gym of St. Richard's School were in attendance to witness Cardinal Emmett Carter bless the new Church. On June 8, 1996, St. John of the Cross Parish was cut off at its Southern boundary on Britannia Road and the new Merciful Redeemer Parish was established to serve the new Community of Erin Mills.
From a small Parish within a new area of Mississauga, St. John of the Cross has grown into a prophetic, priestly Community serving the people of Meadowvale. Spiritual and material help is offered by many parishioners who serve the needs of their sisters and brothers. The Parish of Saint John of the Cross reaches out in worship, service and care to the world with a faith and hope founded on a history of personal and communal spiritual growth. The Lord is with us.
