Ministries of Service

Those who volunteer in various Ministries of Service embody the spirit of selflessness and dedication to maintaining our sacred space. These ministries encompass a range of volunteer opportunities where parishioners generously give their time and talents to ensure the upkeep and cleanliness of our church and facilities. Ministries of Service at St. Padre Pio are a testament to the spirit of volunteerism and service that defines our parish community. Through their dedication and generosity, volunteers within these ministries play a vital role in preserving and enhancing the physical space that serves as the spiritual home for our congregation.

Housekeepers of the Lord

The St. Padre Pio Housekeepers of the Lord volunteers express humility in all they do. To volunteer in this ministry is grueling work. It is so often unappreciated and so quickly undone. This group of volunteers are dedicated, and work tirelessly to make sure the church looks beautiful each and every week. In doing what they do for the Glory of God, they show Jesus their love, and in turn, show others His love too. “Take the time to do humble works, to wash and clean, to show your love for Jesus in real, loving action.” St. Mother Teresa

Maintenance Ministry

Maintaining St. Padre Pio Church involves a wide range of tasks to ensure that the property, facilities, and equipment are in optimal condition. Volunteers are essential to this effort, as their time and skills contribute greatly to keeping the church welcoming and safe for worshipers and visitors alike. Whether it's painting a fence, fixing a leaky faucet, or tending to the garden, every volunteer effort helps uphold the beauty and functionality of the church grounds and facilities. If you're interested in volunteering your time and talents to help maintain St. Padre Pio Church, we welcome your participation and support.

Volunteer Screening

Volunteers across the Archdiocese ofToronto have a long-standing tradition of giving generously of their time and talents to strengthen our community.

Our diocesan Volunteer Screening Program oversees this important work conducting the appropriate checks and balances to ensure a safe environment for all those engaged in a variety of important ministries. The pages of the Volunteer Guidelines and Code of Conduct will provide additional insight and helpful information for those engaged in volunteer services to the community.
