St. Alphonsus Cares is an Outreach Program offered by St. Alphonsus Parish serving Downtown Windsor

We offer free programs and events to anyone and everyone who lives in Downtown Windsor. Supported by volunteers, we aim to partner with others in the city to bring a variety of community building programs that help to make Downtown Windsor more compassionate.

Our Core Values Are:

• St. Alphonsus Cares is for everyone.
• St. Alphonsus Cares is free to the public.
• St. Alphonsus Cares creates programs/events based on the needs of the community.
• St. Alphonsus Cares is a space where people are invited to stay and belong, and does not exist solely to connect people to other services.
• St. Alphonsus Cares focuses on: wellness, education, families, and fun.
• St. Alphonsus Cares is the Outreach Program of St. Alphonsus Parish, and therefore, all programs and events are suitable for Catholics, but not solely “faith-based” and are open to everyone.
