Mission Standing Committee Shifts its focus to homelessness

A Report from the Standing Committee on Mission
The impact of COVID-19 on services to our local homeless population.

In the Greater Montreal area, there are many missions and outreach organizations either directly related to the Diocese or supported by various parishes. The Mission Standing Committee conducted an informal survey of some of those centres. We are committed to being a resource to you for information on how the church and church members can support these and other outreach organizations.

For the most part we have concentrated on “day centres” recognizing as we do, the vital role and services they provide to this vulnerable population. Our conversations focused on the impact the pandemic is having on their clients and the ability of the centres to meet those needs. You can find the report here.
