Overview

Mission

Catholic lay ministry dedicated to bringing individuals to Jesus Christ through prayer, evangelization, and outreach to at-risk youth, adults and children in the underserved community of Kensington (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania), including provision of food, clothing, and spiritual support rooted in the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church.

What it reported doing in 2025

The organization operates and maintains a ministry center used for mission-critical activities, including Catholic prayer, fellowship, and crisis intervention services. The facility serves as the primary base for operations, supporting community engagement and outreach meetings. To ensure constant availability for those in crisis, the ministry maintains a 24-hour operational presence. Furthermore, the organization provides facility support to a local religious order, the Missionaries of Charity, to facilitate collaborative community service. Expenses include maintenance, utilities, and communications necessary to sustain a functional environment for these religious and charitable programs.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
