Who we are:

The Hospitaller Order of St. John of God is an Order of the Catholic Church, drawing its inspiration from the life, example and teaching of its founder - St. John of God, who ministered in a manner of hospitality that characterizes the mission of the Order to the present day.

The term 'Order' also includes the persons and activities of thousands of Co-workers, men and women, who, throughout the world, provide a wide range of health care and social welfare programs in centers and services that perpetuate the work for the poor, sick and needy commenced by St. John of God in the first half of the 16th century in Granada and southern Spain. Today, the Order's mission is present in 52 countries on 5 continents.

The Order in North America comprises various centres in Canada and the United States, overseen by men who belong to the religious family popularly known as the Brothers of St. John of God.
