Mount Carey Church

The community around Mount Carey Church

It takes 4.2 miles in every direction to gather two thousand neighbors around this church. Among the people scattered across those miles, more than 3 in 10 renting households pay over half of everything they earn just to keep a roof over them, and about 2 in 3 the children here are growing up below the poverty line, and nearly half of adults live with obesity. A scattered parish is still a parish.

Pray for the families driving a long way to everything — to work, to a hospital, to this door on a Sunday morning.
