Street Ministry
Do you have a heart full of compassion and a desire to uplift those you encounter on the streets? Our Street Ministry is your calling! Join us in connecting with individuals on the streets, offering them essential supplies, resources, and most importantly, hope. Your presence can be a lifeline, a reminder that they are seen, valued, and loved. Join an existing team or start your own! We typically serve our neighbors during the lunch hour in the surrounding blocks around St. Aloysius. Every first and third Saturday is 'backpack ministry,' open to anyone desiring to join us, and it is a great opportunity for someone new to this ministry. Step into this role and watch your compassion make a tangible difference!
