The Carmelite Order is a contemplative prayer order which is under the special protection of the Blessed Virgin Mary and thus has a strong Marian devotion. The Community of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, Brampton, holds its meetings of St. Mary’s Church on the second Thursday of each month.

St. Mary’s parish has a Catholic Moms Group that meets once a month, to discuss the trials, tribulations and blessings of being a Catholic mom. Motherhood is a vocation, a call from God. Whether you’re a mom to a newborn, or your children are in their teens, or even older – there is always a new triumph or challenge to face. Our Catholic faith is filled to the brim with many spiritual tools and resources. Come and discover them.  Visit our Mothers Group and share the joys of having good solid Catholic girlfriends.

The Catholic Women’s League (CWL) of St. Mary’s church is part of a national organization serving the parish community through initiatives in areas such as spiritual development, education, health and Christian family life. They are active in prayer and fundraising for charities to support the church both locally and abroad and in promoting social justice. Their motto is “For God and Canada”. This group is open to women 16 years of age and older. Members meet once each month.

The Prayer Group gathers weekly to pray, reflect and read sacred scriptures. The group promotes a deeper awareness of the Holy Spirit and how “living in the Spirit” enriches peoples’ lives. In preparation for this “new life", the group coordinates Life in the Spirit seminars which take Catholics on a journey to deepen their relationship with Jesus and fill them with a lively faith that is fulfilling and rewarding. Our Prayer Group meets Tuesday evenings at 7:45 p.m.

This is a family and fraternal benefit organization of Catholic gentlemen age 18 and older who are committed to making their community a better place through their charitable works while supporting the church. Being a “knight” is more than camaraderie, it is being involved in the community and growing one’s faith. It is also about protecting and enhancing family life. The Knights sponsor many different pastoral and social events. The Knights of Columbus has been called “The strong right arm of the church”.

The Marian group of St. Mary’s Church invite you every Friday at 10:00 a.m. in the Knights of Columbus hall to pray the rosary and also to read the gospel of the day with meditation and visit to the blessed sacrament. Each first Saturday at 6:30 a.m., we pray the Holy Rosary in the church. All are welcome.
