Urgent Appeal

Weekend retreats are once a month at St Mary of Egypt Refuge.

The belief here at St John the Compassionate is the belief that each one is important, whatever their situation. A community can't take in everyone but it can become a sign, a sign that in this broken city there's a place where people believe that love is possible." Jean Vanier

Our Vision

For most of the people who come to us, their experiences of community have been dysfunctional at best.

Rather than simply duplicating social services, St. John the Compassionate Mission provides a unique, healthy community, a safe place.
