The Capuchin Foundation is registered with Canada Customs and Revenue Agency as a charitable organization. The charity has a three-fold purpose:
\r\n- To promote knowledge and appreciation of the Capuchin Franciscan life and ministry in the Roman Catholic Church.
\r\n- To maintain and educate men who join the Capuchins of Central Canada throughout their religious formation and in preparation for ministry in the Roman Catholic Church.
\r\n- To continue the religious and professional education of members of the Capuchins of Central Canada.
\r\nWe are the Capuchins of Central Canada religiously known as the Capuchin - Franciscan province of Mary, Mother of the Good Shepherd. Headquartered in Toronto, ON we have parishes and ministries in Kelowna BC, Winnipeg MB, and throughout central and southwestern Ontario. We accept donations (tax deductible) directly as well through our registered charity \"The Capuchin Foundation\" which is described in the Mission Statement.
\r\n======================================================================
\r\nThe two Francis’, St. Francis of Assisi and Pope Francis both understand that love changes hearts and love must be revealed in action. That authentic conversion is brought about through the witness of Gospel love and not through harsh rebukes. The “Poor Church” must be embodied through humble service and hands-on ministering to our brothers and sisters (including creation) who are ill, both physically and spiritually.
\r\nWe the (Franciscan) Capuchins of Central Canada (Province of Mary, Mother of the Good Shepherd) are appealing for your financial partnership which will enable us to continue to answer our Holy Father’s call to further “the witness of Gospel love” in the areas of Toronto and Blenheim, Ontario; Winnipeg, Manitoba and Kelowna B.C.
\r\nWe do this not only through our presence in local Parish churches, but also through direct “hands-on-service”.
\r\nWe pray daily that God will “send us men who aspire to be holy, just and caring to bring the love of Christ to our world”, and our prayer is being answered! Currently we have four men in our formation programs being educated and prepared for a Capuchin-Franciscan life of active and direct ministry to help fulfill St. Francis’ and Pope Francis’ vision of renewal for the Church. Together WE are the stewards of a great potential yet to be released into our world.
\r\nHOWEVER, we need you to partner with us in our mission, which is also Pope Francis’ mission of embodiment. The “Poor Church” must be embodied through humble service and hands-on ministry to our brothers and sisters (including creation) who are ill, both physically and spiritually\". We need well educated and informed friars to fulfill this mission.
\r\nThankyou for your financial support and prayers.

\r\n\r\nThis endeavour, founded in 1983, has a mission to improve the quality of life of those who are disadvantaged, vulnerable, or victims of violence, while promoting their personal autonomy and helping them rejoin mainstream society. The initiatives supported by this endeavour promote measures designed to give individuals greater control over themselves and their environment from every point of view – material, physical, psychological, social, and economic.
\r\nThe Feed a Child campaign, which was launched in the year 2000, supports Partners against Violence and Hunger’s programs for children. The objective is to give children from disadvantaged neighbourhoods the opportunity to eat nutritiously, develop to their full potential, and dream of a brighter tomorrow.

Sa mission est d’améliorer la qualité de vie des personnes démunies, vulnérables ou victimes de violence, en favorisant leur autonomie personnelle et leur intégration au sein de la communauté.
