St. Margaret of Scotland Parish and St. Timothy's in Toronto - a small profile of a collapsing parish and one that is not!

A tale of two parishes.

St. Margaret of Scotland parish in Toronto is in an upscale neighbourhood. It's pastor, Andy MacBeth, has completely shuttered the church. No Mass, as per the Cardinal's order due to the provincial diktat of ten persons and no Sunday Holy Communion Service to the ten, (yes, I know, why can't we have Mass.) MacBeth has even shuttered the doors of the church in contravention to the Cardinal's request to keep the doors open for private prayer to a maximum of ten.

Whilst MacBeth does this, take a look at St. Timothy's Catholic Church administered by the Companions of the Cross where there is adoration every day for no less than seven  hours continuous, confessions three times per week and my appointment. There are livestream and archived Masses and enthusiastic which you can watch at the 9:00 mark.

Let us take a look at MacBeth's bulletin. A whole page begging for money.

Did you notice the top left? Does anyone at the chancery notice? 


$400.00 plus PAG for a total of $1,200. In a neighbourhood where two blocks away a house is selling for $4,995,000.

Twelve. Hundred. Dollars.

It is good to see that the people of St. Margaret's Parish are smarter than MacBeth. Perhaps, just perhaps, they drove twenty minutes northeast to St. Timothy's where, as a comparison, a typical home is $1,299,000.


There are other priests in the Archdiocese of Toronto doing the work of God. I know them. I won't embarrass them here. They know who they are and so do their parishioners. So does God.

If you cannot find a priest at this time you may write me at voxcantoris@rogers.com.

Pray for Father Andy MacBeth and his conversion.
