John

for people like John

John's parents wanted him to have some independence. In the year 2000, their dream of having their son, now in his 30s, move into one of Mary Centre's residences, finally came true.

As he started his new life in one of our Brampton homes, John and his family hoped he would be able to continue his lifelong tradition of serving on the altar. From the time he was a boy, John had been an altar-server; he took special pride in carrying the cross and leading the procession.

John is now well known and loved at his new parish; he serves the Saturday afternoon mass.

John feels fulfilled with his life in his new Brampton community - and its ties to his lifelong faith community.

Reaching out to those who need us - that's how Mary Centre provides support and encourages community.
