Welco​ming Arms is an ecumenical service project that brings together various Christian churches in Aurora, Ont. It serves over 500 individuals through visits to its support programs each month.

Our Lady of Grace Parish in Aurora is one of the participating churches, together with Deacon Pat Colangelo from the local parish.
