St. John the Evangelist Homeless Shelter Update
As the nights get colder, we are reminded that cold weather is
coming quickly. Imagine sleeping in the woods or under the
freeway, or in an abandoned porch not just one night, but for 180
nights. For those less fortunate, who have hit hard times, who have
given up hope, St. John the Evangelist Homeless Shelter will be
opening November 1 as an emergency shelter. To accomplish
the shelter’s mission, volunteers are needed to help. While they
have paid staff, without volunteers the shelter could not offer the
range of services it does. We are proud that parishioners have
volunteered in the past and hope that many more will consider
reaching out to those in need. If you would like more information
on becoming a volunteer at the Shelter and you are 18 years old or
older, call Alex Neis at 436-9344 or email [email protected].

weakness for God’s strength.”
