What is today known as the Father Lacombe Care Society, operators of the Father Lacombe Care Centre and Providence Care Centre began as Lacombe Home, the consummation of the extraordinary life’s work of Father Albert Lacombe, O.M.I. Undertaken at the age of 81, Father Albert Lacombe called his project and last mission his “most beautiful dream”. The Home was to serve the poor and vulnerable of society, including orphans, the elderly and the disabled.

Sisters of Providence

Bishop Bourget told the Sisters of Providence that it was their calling to meet needs that were not being met by others. In an age when there was almost no public provision for basic services, the Sisters were asked to help with care of the sick, care of orphans, the elderly and the homeless, and education of children. Most of the Sisters’ work was done in frontier areas where other people were not available or willing to go.

Father Lacombe Care Society is Committed to Providing Person-Centered Care For Everyone
