Overnight Shelter
Since 1996, a group of parishioners has organized to reach out to unhoused people in a variety of ways, including hosting an overnight shelter for older men served by the St. Martin de Porres shelter on the waterfront. Typically this program takes place in our social hall three nights a week from October through March.
This year, because of COVID-19, we are working with Catholic Community Services of Western Washington to provide nutritious lunches to individuals temporarily housed at the Holiday Inn downtown. MORE INFO...St. Vincent De Paul
The St. Therese Conference of the Saint Vincent de Paul Society aids individuals and families who live within the parish boundaries with emergency assistance. The Saint Therese conference is made up of parishioners. While the conference is not a program of the parish, the parish encourages this model of service to the community. MORE INFO...
Immigration and Refugee Committee
The Immigration and Refugee Committee works to educate ourselves and the greater parish community about issues concerning immigrants and refugees, and to develop activities to help those vulnerable populations in our neighborhood. We work in conjunction with other faith and community organizations which share our values of inclusion, welcoming the stranger, and brotherhood/sisterhood.
