The Welcome Home: Winnipeg
The Welcome Home is a Catholic ministry in the North Point Douglas neighbourhood in Winnipeg’s North End. It serves as a gathering place for residents of the neighbourhood and offers weekly and monthly programs that respond to Jesus Christ’s beckoning in the Gospel of Matthew: “Come to me, all you who are weary and find life burdensome, and I will refresh you” (Matthew 11:28).
The Diakonia Project
The Greek word diakonia expresses the act of being called to serve. The Diakonia Project presents a series of eight initiatives across the country in which Canadians of faith are serving their community.
These Canadians do not undertake this work for the good of their own faith group, but for the good of all. The project highlights a core aspect of religious freedom: the freedom to live out one’s deepest held beliefs through concrete actions that serve the common good.
