St.
John the Compassionate Mission opened its doors on January
30, 1987.
We first began by renting a small store on 53 Blake Street
in the middle of a densely populated Public Housing Project.
The opening day was an act of trust in God's desire to plant
a presence of Faith, Hope and Love in that needy neighbourhood.

In 1995, after a period of being homeless for one year, we moved
out of Blake Street and with the help of friends, purchased a building
on Broadview Avenue. This place is large enough to accommodate all
our needs. All the renovation work in the building, including the
chapel, was done by volunteers.
