About Us

"Give me the Stranger"

St. Joseph of Arimathea

Inspired by St. Joseph of Arimathea, and his request to Pontius Pilate to "Give me the Stranger", we desire to invite in the stranger. We share more than food — we share life. Around our tables, lasting bonds are formed, as we lean in to each others' joys and sorrows.

Every Monday, we open our doors to the Regent Park community. Our mission is to forge relationships, build community, and be a place where all people are seen and loved.

Welcoming the Stranger...

Noble Joseph House is a registered charity rooted in the Christian tradition of radical hospitality. Inspired by St. Joseph of Arimathea’s bold plea to claim the body of Christ, “Give me the Stranger”, we welcome the overlooked and care for needs - both seen and unseen.

 

Each Monday in Toronto’s Regent Park, we offer meals and a multitude of services - sharing stories, joys, and sorrows - to foster a community where everyone is truly seen, valued, and loved.
