Our goal is to provide a safe, compassionate environment where everyone in need can find support and dignity

For several years now, we’ve received support from our parishioners – including English-speaking, Latino, and Polish communities. Thanks to this, our outreach can help more people, becoming both more effective and diverse

Our apostolate is a social and charitable initiative dedicated to helping people facing difficult life situations

After assessing a person’s needs, we refer them to appropriate support organizations

We support people struggling with addictions and emotional problems by organizing meetings with addiction therapists
