Knowing, Loving, and Serving the Poor

CHRIST IN THE CITY EXPANDS TO PHILADELPHIA!

We Form Catholic Missionaries

Our young adult missionaries live in a common house, sharing a life of prayer, service, simplicity, and accountability. Drawing from that as their foundation, they are able to go out and bring the love of Christ to the homeless in the streets.

We Walk With the Homeless

Christ in the City is addressing the most debilitating need for the homeless in the streets, the underlying need for human connection. Missionaries walk the same street routes, Monday thru Friday, building friendships with the homeless. And in doing so, we are re-cultivating a foundation in someone to have hope, walking with our homeless friends toward healing and re-integration into society.
