REDEFININGTO – Breaking Bread, Building Community
What began as a legacy from local baker Joe Link, ignited a passion for bread making under the leadership of Father Roberto Ubertino at St. John the Compassionate Mission. Today, St. John’s Bakery has evolved into a flourishing social enterprise in the heart of our city that not only strives to provide the best quality organic breads and baked goods to the people of Toronto, but also works to help and engage those in need in an effort to strengthen our greater community and create a space filled with hope, dignity, and respect.
“Bread deals with living things, with giving life, with growth, with the seed, the grain that nurtures.” – Lionel Poilane, French Boulanger
