The community around Saint Benedict Church
Within a few blocks of these doors, more than 3 in 10 renting households pay over half of everything they earn just to keep a roof over them. About a third of the people here live without health insurance, and nearly a quarter of households aren't sure there will be enough to eat. That is 2,100 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.
