St. Aloysius Parish is located in Kitchener, Ontario and is one of 119 Parishes in the Diocese of Hamilton. The Parish has grown quite a lot since its humble beginnings in 1953. St. Aloysius Parish began in a seminary chapel known as St. Jerome’s College Chapel. At that time, the church was on the outskirts of Kitchener with very few families attending. Today, hundreds of families and members are part of the busy Parish in the heart of Kitchener.
It was founded by the Congregation of the Resurrection Fathers, next it was under the care of the Diocesan Clergy, and in July 2012, it came under the care of the Order of Discalced Carmelite Fathers. Currently, the Pastor is Melvin Pinto.
Sunday Mass Times are Saturdays at 5 pm and Sundays at 9 am (Interpreted for the deaf), 11 am and 7 pm.
