St. Agnes Kouying Tsao Catholic Church

Markham, Canada · built 2001

St. Agnes Kouying Tsao Catholic Church, formerly known as Blessed Agnes Kouying Tsao Catholic Mission, was founded in 1992 by Rev. Fr. Nicola Ruggiero, an Italian missionary preaching in Hong Kong. St. Agnes was built in response to the growing religious demands of Chinese Christian immigrants flooding into the Markham area from places like Hong Kong and mainland China. On October 1, 2000, Pope John Paul II canonized St. Agnes Kouying Tsao and the parish was then renamed Saint Agnes Kouying Tsao Catholic Church.
