We welcome and celebrate all our local service-agency partners—organizations that inspire us with all that they contribute to the community: shelters for the abused, food for the hungry, support for the forgotten, pastoral care for students, caring for children, parents and seniors, and much more.  Following our worship service, please take the time to visit and talk with their representatives to learn about and engage in the important work each does in our urban community.

Henri Nouwen writes, “Those who are marginal in the world are central in the Church, and that is how it is supposed to be! Thus we are called as members of the Church to keep going to the margins of our society. The homeless, the starving, parentless children, people with AIDS, our emotionally disturbed brothers and sisters—they require our first attention.”

Our Charitable Partners are Action Réfugiés Montréal, Auberge Madeleine, Camp d’action biblique, Chez Doris, Elizabeth House, Fondation CRDM, Generations Foundation, Isaiah 40 Foundation, L’Abri en ville, Maison Flora Tristan, Montreal Children’s Library, Montreal Diet Dispensary, The Open Door, Presbyterian College, St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Homes Foundation, St. Andrew’s Residential Centre, St. James Drop- In Centre, Tyndale-St Georges Community Centre.

We look forward to having you join us.

Join us for this vigil drawing awareness to the problems of homelessness in our city. A unique moment of reflection by candlelight featuring readings and a cappella choral selections, including David Lang’s Pulitzer Prize-winning piece, The Little Match Girl Passion. Inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s famous tale about a poverty-stricken young woman sent out into the cold by her father to sell matches, this work lead us on a journey where hope and memories meet the harsh reality of the wintry streets.

Joignez-vous à nous pour cette vigil de sensibilisation au problème d’itinérance dans notre ville. Un moment unique de réflexion aux chandelles avec des lectures et œuvres chorales a cappella, incluant la pièce gagnante du prix Pulitzer, The Little Match Girl Passion de David Lang. Cette œuvre inspirée du conte ‘La petite fille aux allumettes’ de Hans Christian Andersen raconte l’histoire d’une jeune femme envoyée par son père pour vendre des allumettes dans le froid de l’hiver. Cette œuvre unique vous amènera dans un univers ou l’espoir et les doux souvenirs du passé rencontrent la dure réalité des rues froides de l’hiver.
