History
The Kolbe Eucharistic Apostolate originated in 1996 in the form of monthly Eucharistic retreats that had started in 1995 in De La Salle High School's auditorium under the leadership of Msgr. Robert Nusca, Johnny Biafore (president of the former St. Maximilian Kolbe Apostolate), and Maria and Therese De Manche (Catholic high school teachers).
The Kolbe Eucharistic Apostolate, under the patronage of the Immaculate Heart of Mary and St. Maximilian Kolbe, has moved on and continues:
(1) Kolbe Eucharistic Mini-Retreats at St. Brigid's Parish, Toronto
now under the leadership of Maria and Therese De Manche, with the kind support of the pastors of St. Brigid's Parish (including our present pastor Father Laurence Clark O.S.A.), and the assistance of Father Francis X. Johnson S.J. (our chaplain) and Father Charles Anang (our spiritual advisor from St. Augustine's Seminary).
The Kolbe Eucharistic Apostolate, in addition to the Eucharistic Mini-Retreats, has expanded to include :
