Outreach At St. Clement's
ONGOING OUTREACH PROGRAMMES:
Haiti Education and School Initiatives
St. Clement's has been supporting the work of Father Jean Bruno, an Anglican Priest in
Haiti. In a country where basic public education is not available to half the population ,
Father Bruno raises funds and administers a scholarship program for schools in Northern
Haiti. St. Clement's scholarships support 50 students in the elementary schools for
tuition, school books and uniforms. In addition, we have also been pleased to help fund
Father Bruno's new Terrier Rouge School where construction is now complete, with plans to
expand as the student population grows. We contributed to the construction of a Nutrition
Centre which provided meals and a meeting place for families not at the school as well as
accomodation for visiting medical staff.
Below are pictures some of the students who benefit from these scholarships.

HOUSING INITIATIVES!
Habitat for Humanity - "St. Clement's House!"
St. Clement’s House, a joint intitiative of both St. Clement's church and
Toronto Habitat for Humanity, involved the building of a house specifically sponsored by
St. Clement's for a habitat-designated family during 2004-2005. The home has been
dedicated and is now occupied by our partner family. Their picture and story is featured
in Habitat for Humanity's 2004 Annual Report. More recently, members of St. Clement's
participated in a build on September 9th at McLevin Woods, with plans also to participate
in the St. Paul’s-Bloor Street United Build, and the Build with Beth Tzedec
synagogue in October. Anybody with on-site experience is welcome to help out. Contact the
volunteer coordinator at www.torontohabitat.on.ca to schedule your own personal building
dates.

Somalian Families
St. Clement's continues to provide support and assistance to two Somali families whom it
helped to emigrate to Canada some ten years ago. Fadumo and her family are assisted
monthly with housing costs and medical expenses which are not covered by public funding
and both Fadumo and Khadija receive occasional financial help for specific needs. Over the
next year, St. Clement's will explore ways to provide further support to these families in
helping them achieve increased independence.
Ingles House
Ingles House, a residence for young women recovering from substance abuse, is part of LOFT
Community Services (formerly Anglican Houses). In recent years, St Clement's funded
specific needs of two residents including acquiring a winter coat and boots and assisting
in transportation costs so that a young mom could visit her babies. The parish has also
funded emergency dental care and necessities of life for some women who are moving out on
their own after completing the Ingles House program. The goal is for girls to feel cared
for, who otherwise have no one else to care for them. Members of Outreach planted the
garden at Ingles House 12 years ago and do spring upkeep each year. At Christmas, St
Clement's fills the Ingles House "wish list", with gifts for each girl and for
the house. For specific ways that you can help contribute to Ingles House, click here !

Wednesday Community Lunch
Every Wednesday from 10:30 to 12:30, the Community Lunch program provides a hot,
nourishing lunch, as well as warm clothing and supplies, for people in need in the North
Toronto area. Participants in the program include parish members and volunteers from the
surrounding community. Those attending the lunches have also been assisted with
information on free medical care, dental care and housing and meal information.
Parishioners are invited to contribute food and clothing to this program, and new
volunteer helpers are always welcome.
Centennial Infant and Child Care Centre
Centennial is a nursery school that integrates children with special needs into its
classrooms and as well , with financial assistance from St Clement's ,provides employment
opportunities for adults with special needs. Centennial was founded by one of our
parishioners and several members of the parish continue to volunteer there.
