Archdiocese of Ottawa-Cornwall

The Archdiocese supports The Ottawa Mission’s important work

The Archdiocese of Ottawa-Cornwall is proud to support The Ottawa Mission and its important work helping people in our community rebuild their lives with dignity, hope and opportunity.

The Ottawa Mission’s Rebuilding Lives client stories offer a powerful look at the difference this work is making in the lives of people facing homelessness, poverty and other challenges. Each story reminds us that behind every struggle is a person with their own experiences, strengths and hopes for a better future.

We invite you to watch Kristen’s story and learn more about her journey, as well as the experiences of others whose lives have been transformed with support from The Ottawa Mission.
