We, the Sisters of St. Joseph of Toronto, are a Roman Catholic congregation of women founded in France around 1650. We have been in Toronto since 1851.
As a religious community, we are brought together by the love of Christ. We are called by God, the Gospel and the Church to serve those in need in simplicity and compassion and to pursue social justice and equality for all. We are committed to creating a society transformed by Gospel values in the areas of social justice, peace and creation.
We invite others to join us in living the Gospel values and serving the “dear neighbour”, with a current focus on Indigenous justice, the climate emergency, labour exploitation and human trafficking.
We continue our long tradition of advocacy and support for creation care and social justice, with a special emphasis on clean drinking water as a human right.
We seek collaboration and participation in our mission, ministries and spirituality.
Please join the Mary Ward Centre & Crisis in Our City for the Interfaith Walk for Housing Justice for a peaceful, community-led demonstration calling for urgent action to address homelessness. Wednesday, June 24 | 10:30 am | Nathan Phillips Square.
#SocialJustice #Peace Mary Ward Centre #WisdomWednesdaysEvery person deserves a place to call home.
On June 24, people from different faith traditions and communities will gather to pray, walk, remember, and advocate for those experiencing homelessness in our city.
Through reflection, storytelling, and collective action, we affirm that housing is not a privilege—it is a matter of dignity and justice.
