Description
Who We Are
The Catherine Donnelly Foundation, established in 2003, is the financial legacy of The Sisters of Service. It honours and extends the mission of the Sisters of Service and their foundress Sister Catherine Donnelly.
Sister Donnelly was a remarkable religious leader and pioneer who advocated for many community-based programs and services to respond to the needs of immigrants coming to Canada. She was a forward thinking role model and at times her radical approach took the Sisters of Service beyond the prevailing norms of the religious women of her day.
Through the Sisters of Service endowment, the Catherine Donnelly Foundation will continue the unique history of missionary service in Canada so as to celebrate, honour and extend the Vision, Mission and Values of the Sisters of Service.
