Empowering Community Since 1910

Dedicated to helping the most vulnerable, MCM works as a community ministry of the United Church of Canada, welcoming diversity and fostering authentic connections across all walks of life.
Our Mission
At the heart of Montreal City Mission lies an unwavering belief: everyone has a right to belong to an authentic community. MCM specializes in facilitating the journey from exclusion to belonging, supporting people as they integrate meaningfully into their neighbourhoods and society.
Programs for Integration and Support
For more than 110 years, MCM has created programs designed to help individuals integrate and thrive. These programs address needs such as refugee rights, humanitarian immigration, health, and community building, using workshops, online resources, and innovative approaches to ensure nobody is left behind.
Research for Social Change
MCM actively engages in research with academic partners to strengthen its programs and influence policy changes. These efforts contribute to a deeper understanding of community needs, providing evidence and resources that drive social innovation and justice.
Building Connections across Communities
MCM believes that true transformation happens when people work together. The mission partners with grassroots organizations, advocacy groups, interfaith communities, students, and government networks to create synergy and amplify positive change throughout Montreal and beyond.
Educational Workshops and Online Classes
To foster understanding and bridge divides, MCM organizes online courses and workshops. These educational opportunities connect community members from diverse backgrounds, opening up dialogues around topics such as immigration, health, and social justice.
Recognition and Awards
MCM’s tireless work has been continuously recognized through various awards and honours. The organization remains thankful to its supporters and community partners as it persists in its commitment to service and advocacy.
Take Action: Support and Advocacy
Montreal City Mission continues its fight for justice, including speaking out against policies like the expansion of the Safe Third Country Agreement, which impacts vulnerable migrants.
