About Us
Corpus Christi Parish serves the English-speaking Roman Catholic communities of Senneville, Ste-Anne de Bellevue and Baie D’Urfe.
In 1958, Cardinal Leger approved the establishment of the English-speaking Parish of Corpus Christi. Initially, parish services were held in a residence in Baie d’Urfé, which also served as the
priest’s home, while a search was undertaken to find a suitable location for the church. Through the generosity of the Morgan family, via the James Morgan Estate, a site was donated and
building commenced. The church was built and the first services were held in 1963.
Our welcoming community offers an environment where parishioners are encouraged to express their faith, share their talents, nurture their souls through ministry and to worship our God.
We welcome all seeking to grow their faith through youth programs, ministries and sacraments and particularly through social action. Corpus Christi is actively involved in meeting the needs of our own local community by providing food for the lonely and support to the sick. We also reach out to the global community through our support of Suitcases for Africa.
