Good Shepherd Legacy Project

From the parishes humble beginnings in the late 1800’s serving the workers of Dominion Textile, to a mission of St. George’s Cathedral beginning in 1916, the Good Shepherd Mission has responded to the needs of a changing Kingston community. An ongoing partnership project with Habitat for Humanity will ensure the continuing mission and ministry of the Good Shepherd in Kingston North.

Reading Buddies

As their parish covenant commitment, Christ Church Belleville started a literacy support program that focused on youth outreach in the local community. The parish partnered with Prince Charles School to provide one on one volunteer support for children needing literacy and numeracy assistance.

Full of Beans

St. Paul’s Brockville started a food security program in 2017 called ‘Full of Beans.’ This Outreach to the local community teaches basic cooking skills and food preparation for those on a limited budget. The parish also made Full of Beans cooking club part of their parish covenant commitment.
