"As spring turns into summer, we have so much to be grateful for. We are very excited about our summer fundraising event this year: the Celtic Kitchen Party with Kevin Dooley and friends at All Saints Anglican Westboro.
We raised over ten thousand dollars with the help of over 200 friends. Money raised supports our ongoing programs to help women rebuild their lives at Cornerstone’s four thriving housing communities" read more newsletter...

A summer series for This Week at St John's subscribers. Each week we'll post a photo or two of interesting items/features that can be found in the building. Do you recognise them? Do you know where to find them?
Challenge your friends, help the newcomers, or feel free to share a story about one of these St John's "artifacts."
For those who like to keep score you can always take your own photos of the found items and track how many you've found by summer's end.
