Old Diggs Chapel

The community around Old Diggs Chapel

It takes 3.1 miles in every direction to gather two thousand neighbors around this church. Among the people scattered across those miles, more than 2 in 10 renting households pay over half of everything they earn just to keep a roof over them, and about a third of the people here live below the poverty line, and about 1 in 5 the workforce is looking for work and not finding it. 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.
