Simon Chapel Number 1

The community around Simon Chapel Number 1

It takes 5.3 miles in every direction to gather two thousand neighbors around this church. Among the people scattered across those miles, more than 2 in 10 the people here live without health insurance, and about 1 in 7 the workforce is looking for work and not finding it, and more than a third 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.
