Our story
Built by a community, for the community
In November 2023, His Grace Bishop Boulos blessed the foundation of a new building beside St. Mary Coptic Orthodox Church. Two years later, in November 2025, we celebrated our grand opening. Today SMCC is a home for families, youth and seniors, open to all our neighbours.
