• Sisters of Providence of St. Vincent de Paul (Kingston)

The Sisters of Providence of St. Vincent de Paul have a history of service in health care, education, pastoral care and social services. Our legacy from St. Vincent de Paul comes from the Congregation of the Sisters of Providence of Montreal, which was founded by a young widow, Emilie Gamelin, in 1843.

In 1861, on the invitation of Bishop Horan of Kingston, four Sisters went to Kingston, Ontario to establish a Congregation to serve the sick, the aged, the poor, prisoners and others in need.

The Sisters’ work expanded to encompass social service and pastoral ministries, education, health care, retreat and campus ministries and missionary work. Faithful to our heritage of St. Vincent de Paul and the Sisters of Providence of Montreal, our history has been one of initiating work and meeting new challenges in response to changing needs.

Based on this tradition, at the request of Archbishop O'Leary, the Sisters were called to Edmonton in 1927 to open the original St. Joseph's Hospital in 1927, located on Whyte Avenue and 107 Street, where the Sisters provided care to aging pioneers in what was coined Edmonton's "first home for the aged." Throughout the years, the building was upgraded and expanded to meet the residents’ needs.

Eventually, the old structure could no longer meet our needs, and in 1993 we moved to our current location in south central Edmonton.
