Members of the Missouri Area, together with family members, recently partnered with Incarnate Word Parish to serve 101 individuals at Sts. Peter and Paul Parish in the historic Soulard neighborhood of St. Louis. Each month, from the 2nd through the 21st, the parish hall provides a free homemade meal to residents of the parish’s homeless shelter as well as to families and individuals in the surrounding community who may be living on limited or fixed incomes.
Over the past year, the Missouri Area has also supported the men at the Sts. Peter and Paul homeless shelter through a dedicated shoe drive, further extending the Order’s commitment to compassionate service.
