Our Outreach
St Peter and St Simon’s inhabits one of the most diverse and dense neighbourhoods in Toronto.
Our outreach to the community is coordinated through a group called Connections. They are in charge of food bank donations, and outreach efforts to community groups. Presently SPSS donates the use of the kitchen and parish hall to members of CREW (Community Resilience to Extreme Weather) once a week.
We respond with programs from support for refugees, to a homework club for local kids, and music lessons through the organization St. James Town Community Arts formerly Reaching Out through Music.
