Lazarus Ministry to the Homeless and Working Poor |

Saint Philip’s Lazarus Ministry affords members of the community to put into concrete action Jesus’ teaching and our Christian belief in serving the poor. Weekly, on Thursday evenings, the Lazarus Ministry participants prepare and serve dinner to the local homeless and working poor of our area. This crucial ministry is a reality of Christian love and dedication in our community through the continuous work and support of our parishioners as well as the generous financial support of our Eparch, Archbishop Cyrille Bustros. Our Lazarus Ministry Schedule is: Thursdays, |
“There was a scholar of the law who stood
up to test him and said, ‘Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?’
Jesus said to him, ‘What is written in the law? How do you read it?’ He said
in reply, ‘You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all
your being, with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbor
as yourself.’ He replied to him, ‘You have answered correctly; do this and
you will live.’” (Luke 10:25-28)
