From February 2-8, 2025, our Campus of Care joins healthcare organizations across Canada in recognizing National Catholic Health Care Week. As one of Canada’s largest faith-based healthcare organizations, St. Joseph’s Health System (SJHS) members are united by a shared commitment to living the legacy of the Sisters of St. Joseph though compassionate care, faith and discovery.

As a member of the Catholic Health Care Alliance of Canada and the Catholic Health Association of Ontario, SJHS compassionately cares and advocates for the needs of patients, residents, clients and families. Our more than 10,000 dedicated healthcare workers live the mission daily, embodying the hope and transformative power of faith-based care. Together, we follow in the footsteps of the Sisters of St. Joseph, who responded courageously to the greatest needs of their time. From specialized clinics and services that serve the unique needs of vulnerable populations to supportive, affordable housing that offers wrap-around support for seniors and people with complex needs, we are living our mission.

We are incredibly grateful for the long-standing partnership we share with St. Mary Catholic Secondary School—a relationship that has spanned over 20 years and continues to grow in meaningful ways. This past year alone, their students and staff have brought so much joy and connection to our residents at St. Joseph’s Villa.

From participating in our Hike the Valley event to orchestrating a fabulous intergenerational petting zoo with animals from Triple C Farms, their creativity and compassion shine through. They brought holiday cheer by writing hundreds of Christmas cards, ensuring our residents felt remembered and loved on Christmas Day. Their drama department even used interviews with our residents as inspiration for their moving play, “I Remember…” Watch here: https://youtu.be/hq5Kk_JOi3Q?si=yJ1bMR1qb_AICgM3

This partnership is about more than events—it’s about fostering intergenerational opportunities that enrich lives on both sides. St. Mary students pursuing healthcare placements gained invaluable hands-on experience while building connections with our residents, learning from their wisdom and stories, empathy, understanding, and connection across generations.

We are so proud of this partnership and thankful for the ways St. Mary Catholic Secondary School continues to make a difference in the lives of our residents and in the hearts of their students. Together, we are building a stronger, more compassionate community. 💙

*Thank you to Nancy Castura, Frank Zochil and others for capturing these special moments

We are so grateful to for designing these beautiful custom pottery ornaments gifted to our incredible hospice staff and volunteers this holiday season.
