The Mission

---

To act as a catalyst for Jesus' call to serve by providing new and ongoing outreach and service opportunities.

For I was hungry and you gave me food,
I was thirsty and you gave me drink,
I was a stranger and you welcomed me, 
I was naked and you clothed me,
I was sick and you visited me,
I was in prison and you came to me.
Matthew 25:35-37

Upcoming Events

LOCAL SERVICE OPPORTUNITY!

The Church of St. Monica is a support congregation to host congregation St. David’s
Episcopal Church for Family Promise of the Main Line (formerly Interfaith Hospitality Network), a
program that helps families experiencing homelessness achieve independence through a
community-based response. Families in FPML’s program spend every evening (including
overnight) for one week, Sunday to Sunday, at a host congregation site, receiving hospitality
including dinner each day. In addition to dinner prep and drop-off, there are opportunities to
volunteer as dinner hosts, evening hosts, overnight hosts, pre-arrival setup, post-departure
breakdown and laundry help. Adults as well as families with school-age children are welcome
to volunteer.

To learn more about the program, contact Marybeth Panaro at
[email protected] or 610-688-0090. If you would like to volunteer, it will be very helpful
to attend one of the following training sessions at St. David’s. Procedural changes have been
made due to COVID-19, so current volunteers may also wish to attend. Family Promise
Director Allegra Cressman and Program Mgr. Elizabeth Bertolet will attend both trainings:

Family Promise of the Main Line Training
St. David’s Episcopal Chapel Conference Room (2nd floor)
Sunday Sept. 25, 1:00-2:30PM
OR
