St. John the Evangelist parishioners donate frozen casseroles to help feed the homeless and other needy persons in Baltimore City at the Catholic Charities’ Our Daily Bread dining center.

With your help, St. John’s can continue to help feed the hungry. To volunteer or for more information, contact Jeanette Jenkins at [email protected]
