	6 St. Joseph House is a centre of imagination and friendship, created by people who are committed to finding ways to renew community values in our city - by working with people who are vulnerable to income and livelihood challenges. Our vision is to inspire a sense of hope by encouraging people who have a passion to build a more inclusive community - to work together in ways that speak to the values of compassion, hospitality and friendship. We welcome people of diverse faiths and backgrounds to participate. Our goal is to create a neighbourhood centre that fosters resourcefulness and creativity; a place where people can become engaged and contribute their talents to community enterprise and community arts activities. One of our hopes is that activities at 6 St. Joseph House will be an inspiration to other neighbourhoods.

Civil society is now engaged in a tremendous struggle against these deadly institutions which value money over life.
