What We Do

We show people the path to self-sufficiency by providing them a variety of compassionate programs.

Under the leadership of Sr. Mary Johnice Rzadkiewicz CSSF and a host of volunteers the building was transformed into an outreach center for the community a center of love and acceptance for all who enter.

  • Here, our dining room feeds the hungry;
  • the chapel provides spiritual warmth;
  • and our food pantry stretch our families’ thin budgets.

 

Through prayer, silence and listening, God directs us.

We step out in faith and

respond with a compassionate presence and accompaniment.
