OUTREACH
Annual Block Party
This annual event is held on the last Saturday in September. Modeled after an old fashion picnic except everything is free, giving us the opportunity to ‘practice what we preach’. It serves as an outreach to our lower income neighbors. We offer food, clothing household goods, shoes, health screenings, bicycles, toys, games and much more.

Homeless Shelter
St. Benedict’s Homeless Shelter
