The ISARC Vigil Returns – Spring 2026
Join us for the return of the ISARC Spring Vigil, a multi-faith prayer event grounded in ISARC’s core values. This gathering will bring together faith leaders from diverse traditions to offer prayers and reflections for justice, compassion, and dignity in Ontario. Together we will name each of our elected officials and hold them in prayer, calling for policies that support those most affected by poverty and exclusion. All are welcome to stand in solidarity and witness this shared commitment to a more just and equitable society.
