The Sisters of Saint John the Divine (SSJD) are an order of the Anglican Church of Canada, and their Motherhouse is in Toronto. The sisters continue to reach out in teaching, healing, caring, and loving the people God brings to them at the Motherhouse where they provide active hospitality, retreats, spiritual direction, and outreach into the community.
At its 2023 Synod, the Diocese of Ontario pledged, "by way of contributions and solicited donations, at least $30,000 towards the refurbishment of the guest house of SSJD to support their ongoing ministry, and for the support of the future life of the Anglican communion in Canada.”
Additional background on this project can be found by clicking here.
At the end of 2024, close to $15,000 had been raised by parishes/congregations/individuals towards the $30,000 goal. These funds and the remainder will be crucial toward this project with the unfortunate and costly discovery of asbestos during the work already underway.
If so motivated, individuals may give directly to this project either through the diocese directly via cheque or etransfer (payments@ontario.anglican.ca), with the designation SSJD Motherhouse, or through a Mission & Outreach donation to St. Mark’s, again clearly designated to SSJD Motherhouse.
Thank you.
