Remembering Pope Francis
1936-2025

Our hearts are heavy as we mourn the passing of Pope Francis. He taught us to love everyone, and to assist our neighbors, especially those who are poor and marginalized. We ask that you join us in prayer and that he may rest in eternal peace.

A Call To Charity: Serving Our Neighbors, Strengthening Our Community

The year 2024 was a year of much grace, and at the same time, many challenges. While our work continues to grow, rising costs due to inflation have created an additional financial challenge that we need your help to resolve.  Without your support, prayers, donations, and the gift of your time, we could not serve those who need us most!

Funding Shortfall Threatens Our Sojourner House Operations

Due to declining funding and a shortage of volunteers, we are faced with the difficult decision of potentially reducing Sojourner House’s operations from year-round to six months per year.
