The Santa Maria Goretti Centre has been a staple in Edmonton since 1958. As our Italian community grew within our great city, a group of dedicated members had a vision to develop an Italian-Canadian Centre. The Centre was to be a venue where all could gather in a central meeting place and share in conversation and food with familiar faces and new friends. The Centre and our neighbouring Santa Maria Goretti Parish became the original heart and soul of Little Italy. The young families of Italian decent filled the Centre with positive energy buzzing through happy voices, laughter and boisterous conversation. With the continued growth of our community and the need to better serve our customers with even more event and meeting space, a bright new Centre was built on the same location. It was through the volunteer efforts and financial charity of our Ital-Canadian community that made this vision a reality. The new Centre opened its doors in 1987 and continues the tradition to present a venue where individuals, families and organizations can gather in a friendly meeting place and share in good conversation and good Italian food!

The wisdom of our community builders left us a great legacy. We will always be grateful! Our gratitude to them extends to all who grace the Santa Maria Goretti Centre with their patronage.  

We are delighted to present you with our world class food menu and catering packages. Myself and our great staff can customize your wedding reception or special events to make it one to remember.
