Vita Centre provides a range of services to support young women who are experiencing an unplanned pregnancy. Vita Manor, our Residence, was founded by the Catholic Women's League of Peel Region and the Knights of Columbus in 1991. The Board of Director's are dedicated to the preservation and dignity of human life.
Vita Manor is a Catholic Agency dedicated to providing life affirming residential and community support to all pregnant and parenting women in Peel. Vita Manor takes leadership in promoting awareness and understanding of the impact of unplanned pregnancy on families and the community.

Our Philosophy
We believe that from conception each individual is precious and unique in the eyes of God.
We respect the dignity of each person as reflected in the diversities of sex, religion, culture, race, colour, national origin and personality.
We believe that providing opportunities will enable each person to reach full potential in the areas of social, emotional, intellectual, physical, and spiritual growth.
We believe in the central role of the family in nurturing human life and society.
We believe that when an individual receives support from a caring, loving community, she can recognize her goodness and ultimately use her strength for her own benefit and that of her child.
Our Overall Goal
To achieve a community where youth can make a choice for life, even in undesirable circumstances, and she will be accepted and supported; allowing positive outcomes for her child.
