Owners
Our founding sisters have upheld a strong tradition of involving the laity in their charitable work. In 2000, the Grey Nuns transferred their charitable division, Taché Centre and Foyer Valade to the Catholic Health Corporation of Manitoba (CHCM). This corporation is now known as the Réseau Compassion Network (RCN). In 2005, the Sisters of St. Benedict did the same with St. Joseph’s Residence. As the owner and sponsor of Actionmarguerite, the RCN ensures the effective and responsible governance of Actionmarguerite and its Foundations.
In addition to Actionmarguerite, the RCN owns and sponsors the mission of the following communities of service:
Marymound
St. Amant
Centre Youville Centre
St. Boniface Hospital
Centre de santé Saint-Boniface Health Centre
