Mission
Homeless in Paris
Like most of the world's large cities, Paris has a huge and growing number of homeless people on its streets - so much so, that the individual citizen often feels overwhelmed and at a loss to know how best to offer help. In 1996 our congregation formed a support link with a small hostel for homeless men run by a Roman Catholic brotherhood - les Missionnaires de la Charité. Les missionnaires were co-founded by Brother Andrew and Mother Teresa, and work in many countries including France, Colombia and the United Kingdom.
Each Sunday when our congregation gathers for worship, we encourage our members to bring with them simple gifts of basic food, toiletries, clothing, etc. After the service these are delivered to the hostel in Paris 15th, to help the brothers in their work of practical help for the needy.
