We are honored to have been selected as the charitable beneficiary of the RBC Wealth Management 2026 Women’s Summit!

Community partnerships like this remind us that when people come together with compassion and purpose, they can make a meaningful difference in the lives of others.

🩷 A Special Act of Kindness 🩷

Last Friday, we were honored to welcome Emilio to Sister José Women’s Center as he handed out thoughtfully prepared goodie bags to the women we serve.

While our volunteer policies generally limit participation by younger children, Emilio’s mother shared how important it was to her that he learn the value of giving back and experience firsthand the joy of helping others. After hearing about his desire to make a difference, we were happy to make an exception.

Emilio was joined by his mother, father, and grandmother, making this a meaningful family act of service that touched the hearts of our guests and staff alike. The smiles on the faces of the women receiving the bags were a reminder that even the smallest gestures can make someone feel seen, valued, and cared for.

We are so grateful to Emilio and his family for choosing to spend part of their day spreading kindness and compassion. Thank you for demonstrating that generosity has no age limit and that the spirit of giving can inspire an entire community.

🩷 One act of kindness can create a ripple effect of hope. 🩷

Today we are sending a heartfelt thank you to TUS2 Amazon Employees and their partners Clean the World for their generous donation of hygiene kits and additional hygiene supplies for the women we serve. The wonderful kits included shampoo, bar soap, a loofa, toothpaste, a toothbrush, comb and a pair of Bombas socks.

These essential items help provide dignity, comfort, and care to women experiencing homelessness and housing insecurity. Something as simple as access to personal hygiene products can make a tremendous difference in a woman's health, confidence, and sense of wellbeing.

Today, we gathered together as a community to honor and celebrate the lives of several of the women we have lost over the past few months, while also remembering our beloved founding chaplain, Monsignor Tom Cahalane. 🩷

At Sister José Women’s Center, every woman who walks through our doors matters deeply to us. They are more than guests, they are part of our family, and their absence is felt by our staff, volunteers, and fellow guests alike.

Monsignor Tom’s loss is also one that continues to be felt deeply throughout our community, as his compassion, faith, and unwavering belief in the dignity of every woman helped shape the heart of Sister José from the very beginning.

Father Miguel officiated a beautiful and meaningful ceremony, offering prayers, and comfort as we remembered those we have lost. Guests were also given the opportunity to share memories, stories, and words about the women who touched their lives, creating a space filled with love, grief, and healing.

Our founder, Jean Fedigan, also joined us and shared heartfelt words about one of the women we lost, who had been a guest at Sister José Women’s Center since we first opened the doors at our current location. Her reflections were a powerful reminder of the deep relationships formed within our community and the lasting impact each woman has on all of us.

While many of the women we serve have experienced unimaginable hardship, they each carried a unique story, spirit, and dignity that deserved to be seen and remembered. We are grateful we could come together to honor their lives, remember Monsignor Tom’s lasting legacy, and hold space for one another in community.

May they all rest in peace, and may we continue to carry their memories with compassion and love.
