Since 1997, members of the parish have provided dinner, breakfast, showers, conversation and a warm place to sleep for our neighbors, homeless men, each Tuesday evening during the months of December through March. This is a ministry that supports the Roof Above of Charlotte.
Thank you to all our volunteers and support from the community of St. Peter.
