Did you know that over the past year, 553 volunteers shared their time and talents across 57 activities and programs at St.Amant? Each hour, each connection, and each act of kindness helps build a stronger, more inclusive community for the people we support. Their work is rooted in compassion and care, offering comfort without expectation, connection without condition, and kindness that quietly changes lives.
2026 is an exciting year for the volunteer community: The United Nations General Assembly named this year the International Year of Volunteers for Sustainable Development and Volunteer Canada is celebrating by championing the stories of volunteers, Igniting Volunteerism across the country.
In honour of National Volunteer Week (April 19-25), we will be sharing some words from the volunteers who donate their time to make St.Amant such a special place.
Tavnoor is an outstanding Spiritual Health volunteer who frequently joins us at St.Amant Sunday mass. Tavnoor always brings a positive attitude, sharing laughter and joy with those around her. Tavnoor, thank you for being such a remarkable advocate for those that you support!
My favourite memory that I have while volunteering at St.Amant was when someone I was supporting was smiling and laughing! I really enjoy the environment at St.Amant. Everyone is so supportive, understanding and welcoming. It is very rewarding to have the opportunity bring a smile to the face of the people I support. These moments give me inner peace and allow me to feel useful.
I like coming back to St.Amant because I really enjoy meeting new people and supporting them in any way I can. This motivates me to keep coming back. someone was considering volunteering at St.Amant I would tell them that St.Amant is a lovely organization that has people that support you and that they are very understanding.
Tavnoor, thank you for your commitment to the values we cherish here at St.Amant.
