A few Sunday’s ago we spent some time in studio photographing the great people from the Ossington Pentecostal Church. They were just looking to freshen up their website and what better way to do so then to freshen up your images. Below you can read up on the history of the church.
The founding congregation of the Ossington Pentecostal Church was a part of the first Italian work in 1922 that was called “Assemblea Cristiana” held at 193 Montrose Ave. Toronto under the combined leadership of Rev. Ferdinando Zaffuto and Rev. Luigi Ippolito.
In1956 a group from the Assemblea Cristiana under the leadership of Rev. Ferdinando Zaffuto built and established the church located at 686 Ossington Ave. Toronto and on August 22, 1956 it was officially incorporated under the name of “Assemblea Cristiana Pentecostale Italiana”. The spiritual and administrative directors of this newly formed church consisted of Rev. Ferdinando Zaffuto as pastor, Luigi Guglietti, Giuseppe Grieco, Ross Ditta and John Totafurno. The congregation was an independent work that reached out and ministered primarily to the Italian community of Toronto. Pastor Zaffuto continued to serve as pastor of the church until February of 1968 when the Lord called him home and promoted him to glory. Rev. John Totafurno was elected to serve as pastor in 1968 and continued to lead the church together with his wife Leah until 1984.
