Social Care Program made possible by funding from the St. Patrick’s Benevolent Society of Toronto
In a spirit of compassion, the St. Patrick’s Benevolent Society was established in 1836 to help needy Irish immigrants in Toronto. Over 180 years later, though the nature of the needs has changed, the Society’s interest in supporting newly arrived Irish remains steadfast. Such gestures of human kindness are a most important part of our collective history, illustrating the immeasurable value of benevolent works.
