Come In From the Cold!

Kidz Klub

Kidz Klub at St. John the Compassionate Mission, has amazingly sprung up in a very short period of time, since February of this year, when our small team of 2 or 3 shiveringly went out in the cold winter weather, knocking on doors, inviting children, one by one, to the club, we have added over 80 children to the club!! This outreach is hugely blessed by God, and He has given it to us as stewards to foster and grow, making it into something beautiful. This is a time and place for the children of our neighbourhood to have fun and build friendships with each other and the community of St. John the Compassionate Mission, every Saturday afternoon from 2:30 to 4:00.

So now, I ask that you would consider being a part of this ministry, by renewing, or making for the first time, a commitment to the children of Riverdale. The Kids Klub is always in need of more helping hands, those who can commit on a weekly or bi-weekly basis to help run the program, and those who bring activities which open the doors to the children of Riverdale, for them to learn and do more, to experience this world that God has created, and to raise them up to be all that they can be. With God's help.
COME AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

If interested and think you have what it takes, please do not hesitate to contact Mary Malaty, contact information below.

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.
