Bringing Sacred Hospitality to the Heart of Toronto

Founded in 1884, the Sisterhood of Saint John the Divine is a contemporary expression of religious life for women within the Anglican Church of Canada. The SSJD embraces a unique spirit of contemplative service and monastic living. Just minutes from downtown Toronto, the Convent and Guest House offers prayer, worship, spiritual direction, and nourishment for the soul. Whether seeking renewal or discerning your calling, come as you are, and renew your spirit.
