St. Catherine Laboure is part of the Interfaith Shelter Network that provides food and lodging to individuals and families that are situationally homeless. Our parish houses twelve to fourteen guests for a two-week period during the cold months. We provide a hot meal, comfortable sleeping space, breakfast, and a sack lunch each day during their stay. Six to eight weeks before the shelter, we ask for volunteers and collect donations of food, toiletries and other necessary items. If you would like to volunteer to be part of the planning team or if you would like more information contact Nancy Starr at nandmstarr@yahoo.com
Next weekend, January 25/26, 2025, you will have a unique opportunity to contribute to the Interfaith Shelter by participating in our SHELTER GIVING RACK. When you come to Church on January 25/26, 2025 please stop by the GIVING RACK and select one or more cards with items that are needed for the Shelter. Purchase the items and drop them off at Church when you come to Mass on SHELTER SUNDAY, February 1 / 2, 2025. This is a wonderful activity to provide assistance and shelter to those who are unhoused. When you stop by the GIVING RACK you can also receive a handout with volunteer opportunities.
