(Mission statement)

The true face of Our Lady of Sorrows is made up by the combined traits of Blessed Giovanni B. Scalabrini and Blessed Luigi Guanella. These two remarkable friends dedicated their lives to the welcoming of the far away, and the different.

Our Lady of Sorrows is the traditional home to the Italians in Vancouver; with the same spirit however, we welcome all new immigrants because we see ourselves as a spiritual family providing a home to anyone coming to into our community.


Blessed Scalabrini is the Founder of our Priests; Blessed Guanella is the Founder of our Sisters.
