OUR BCBP HISTORY
Since 1980, when the group first gathered for breakfast in Makati, Philippines, the BCBP Breakfast has served as a venue for something greater than just a meeting and a good meal. It is a place to meet your peers. But it is also an opportunity to listen to sharers testifying how God has touched their family, personal, business, and professional lives.
From its beginnings in the Philippines, the BCBP Breakfast has grown and taken root in Canada, the United States, and the Asia-Pacific Region.
BCBP Canada officially started with its first Breakfast on October 27, 2012 in Mississauga. As the group held regular breakfasts every month, it also brought in new members through the Brotherhood Christian Life Program. The organization’s exponential growth led to its elevation from an Outreach to a Chapter in October 2014, just two years after it started.
The BCBP GTA Chapter continued to grow over the years and it prompted the expansion to the GTA East and West Chapters in October 2018.
Today the BCBP GTA East Chapter holds its monthly Breakfast on the second Saturday of the month, while the Toronto Central Mission holds it on the fourth Saturday of the month.
In Canada, BCBP is federally incorporated and registered as a not-for-profit charitable organization and is recognized by the Archdiocese of Toronto, as well as the Dioceses of Hamilton, Edmonton, and Vancouver. It now has regular breakfasts in the Greater Toronto West, Greater Toronto East, GTA Southwest, Durham, Brampton, Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, Winnipeg, Toronto Central, Waterloo and Montreal.
