Proceeds help meet the growing need to engage and entertain residents in their first language and culture which is critical to their well-being.

Aging in Place Innovation
This priority enhances services for residents living in our supportive housing communities. By investing in Aging in Place Innovation, donors help create a vibrant dignified and connected environment where residents can thrive where they call home.
Friends of St. Joseph's Residence
Created to honour the early donors, founders, and community members who helped shape Friends of St. Joseph's Inc., this priority brings together several meaningful legacies. These gifts strengthen programs, spiritual care, and resident spaces, ensuring compassion and generosity continues to support those who call St. Joseph's home.
Help us co-create living environments where life is good.
