Jubilee Churches of Gloucester

St. Therese is part of Jubilee Churches of Gloucester: a coalition of several churches collaborating resources to help prevent homelessness and to help those transitioning out of homelessness in our community. We provide financial resources by contributing to the Jubilee Churches Fund and human resources by providing lunches and assistance at the GUEST Day Shelter. The GUEST Day Shelter is open Tuesday, Thursday and Friday 9:00 a.m-2:00 p.m. for those experiencing homelessness. They are able to have lunch, have access to shower and laundry facilities and receive guidance. If interested in volunteering, call 804-792-5046. Contributions may be sent to:
