Family Promise |

St. Edward Catholic Church is a host church for this ecumenical outreach to homeless families. We provide a safe place for them to stay for a week, meals, and companionship. Many parishioners are needed to help make this possible: people to cook meals, donate food, evening hosts, overnight hosts, and set up and clean up crews. We house families three times a year. For more information, please contact the parish office at (503) 393-5323. |
