Mother of Mercy Chapel

The community around Mother of Mercy Chapel

Within a few blocks of these doors, more than 5 in 10 renting households pay over half of everything they earn just to keep a roof over them. More than half of the people here live below the poverty line, and more than half of the children here are growing up below the poverty line. That is 2,300 neighbors — and some of them are already in these pews.

Pray for the families one rent increase away from moving, and for this church to know their names.
