Respect
We value each person as a distinct expression of God's love and invite each other to discover and celebrate our unique gifts.
A place of welcome and response.
Our Mission
Inspired by the legacy of the Sisters of St. Joseph, we foster community and wellbeing through welcoming and inclusive programs for the most socially isolated among us.
Our Vision
Nurturing community, dignity, and spirit.
Our beginnings
Breaking ground on Queen Street East.
Twenty-five years ago, the Sisters of St. Joseph broke ground on what would become Fontbonne Ministries — a place built on the conviction that people deserve to be met with care, consistency and respect. Much has changed in a quarter century. That commitment has not.
