Mission
The Mission of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul is:• to live the Gospel message
• by serving Christ in the poor
• with love, respect, justice and joy.
Our work is done with humility and respect - bearing witness to the love that God has for all people, making no distinctions of creed, ethnic or social background, health, gender, or political opinions.
Indigenous Land Acknowledgement
We, the Society of St Vincent de Paul serving in East Gwillimbury and Newmarket, acknowledge that we do our work and meet on Aboriginal land that has been inhabited by Indigenous peoples from the beginning.
In particular, we acknowledge the lands originally used and occupied by the First Peoples of the Williams Treaties First Nations, as well as the traditional territories of the Wendat, the Haudenosaunee, and the Anishinaabe peoples, whose presence here continues to this day.
We reaffirm our commitment and responsibility in improving relationships between nations, and to improving our own understanding of local Indigenous Peoples and their cultures.
