Rev. Mr. Savio Bruto da Costa will be ordained to the priesthood on May 13, 2023 at St. Michael's Cathedral Basilica.

Rev. Mr. Sávio António Bruto da Costa, 46, is an immigrant from Goa, India. He is the eldest of three boys to Fatima and Carlos. The exemplary Roman Catholic life led by his parents and grandparents has been the foundation and strength in his life. At a young age, he started enterprises in interior decor, fashion, and dance, while completing a Bachelor of Commerce, a Post-Graduate diploma, and a course in Fashion. After tremendous success and some trials, during a retreat in 2003, he had a deeper conversion to the faith, where for the first time in his life, all the success that he had achieved, all his dreams and plans for his future, lost their meaning, and he found himself open to the priesthood of Jesus Christ. On immigrating to Canada, the call to the priesthood became very clear. He is most grateful for the encouragement and support that he has received from priests and parishioners at the parishes that he has served, and looks forward to serving the people of God in the Archdiocese of Toronto.
