Throughout its long history of 154 years, Ss. Peter and Paul parish has always ministered to the street poor of the downtown area.  It's current major program to this community is through our Warming Center.  Brother Jim Horgan, S.J., is the director, and can be reached at 961 8077 extension 202.  He is assisted by a staff of three laymen on a regular basis, and also several volunteers from local religious institutions.

The Warming Center is open Monday through Friday from September to May, with operational hours between 7:00 am to 11:00 am. We also open on the last Saturday of the month. Our services include a simple breakfast, shower and laundry facilities, television viewing, individual counseling, phone use, mail delivery, and support groups.  We also provide socks and underwear, blankets, toiletries, and hygiene items.  The Warming Center was first opened in l990, and welcomes donations of coffee, paper products sugar, and socks and underwear.
