A couple of years ago, in 2003, the first missionaries from Life Community, arrived in Toronto.  Their main mission was to assist a Portuguese speaking parish in some activities such as bible course, youth prayer group coordination,  artistic presentation, evangelization in nursing homes and schools.

Nowadays we are 9 missionaries, 2 for Life Community and 7 from Covenant Community, working with Portuguese and English speaking. We are growing in a  very close relationship with the Charismatic movement through the  Catholic Youth Service, as well  as the pastoral  for married couples. We assist  in preparation for the sacrament of matrimony, support to the parish in varies activities (baptism/confirmation course), evangelization in nursing homes, parks, retreats. We also offer individual prayers and counselling, beside our English  prayer  group ,  with more focus in teenagers and young adults.
