​Support of the Sunday Love Project
We support the local work of the Sunday Love Project in their service to the homeless.  The organization operates out of the Church of the Holy Trinity, located on Walnut St. between 19th and 20th, on the northwest corner of Rittenhouse Square Park, a stone's throw from St. Patrick's.  While the organization currently has more than enough volunteers to serve food and give out clothing, we encourage parishioners to support this organization's service to the homeless through donating items or purchasing needed items on their Amazon Wishlist:
