Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church

The community around Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church

Within a few blocks of these doors, more than 2 in 10 renting households pay over half of everything they earn just to keep a roof over them. Nearly a quarter of households aren't sure there will be enough to eat, and more than a third of adults say they are socially isolated. That is two thousand 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.
