CIBPA of Toronto

Two Journeys One Destination!

Thank you, Joseph Gulizia, UniversalCare Canada Inc. for your leadership, vision, and dedication in creating such an unforgettable evening.

Your ability to bring our community together is special, and this event was a perfect example of that. Through your hard work and coordination, alongside the powerful contributions of Joe Vitale TLN TV Villa Charities and Gianluigi Bisleri, MD, we celebrated heritage, storytelling, and the impact we can make when we stand together.

Because of your efforts, the event raised over $75,000 in support of minimally invasive heart surgery at St. Michael’s Hospital — an incredible achievement that will directly benefit patients and families in our community.

A warm thank‑you to some of the generous sponsors Vin Bon Richmond Hill - winemaker 🍷 Oh So Sweet Nut Free Bakery 📍Vaughan Masters Insurance RBC John De Caro flowers whose contributions added so much heart to the evening. And of course, the joyful moment of surprising Dr. Bisleri with a delicious 50th birthday cake made the night even more memorable.

We were also honoured by the incredible support of the Mayor of Markham Frank Scarpitti, whose ongoing commitment to our community continues to strengthen events and initiatives like this one.

This was a celebration of culture, compassion, and community.

We gathered together at the Charity Gala on this special and joyful occasion in support of our beloved Sisters of the Sacred Heart of the Incarnate Word and the St. Peter’s Childcare Centre.

The Archdiocese of Toronto is truly blessed to have the presence of the Sisters carrying out their charism of love and service by caring for the children of God at their centre, a ministry that has been in motion since the early 1990’s and has grown steadily since that time.

We thank the Sisters and their mission of providing safe and nurturing childcare that promotes development and growth in a loving and welcoming environment where children can learn and play, and faith is grown.
