Members of our congregation prepare and serve the evening meal every fourth Tuesday of the month at the homeless shelter. If you would like to help, e-mail our office.

• St. John the Evangelist Homeless Shelter

St. John the Evangelist operates an emergency homeless shelter November through April. Visit their website at www.stjohnhomelessshelter.org. We partner with them in various ways including providing overflow accommodations for women.
