subscribes to openness and transparency principles for charitable
organizations. This report helps
us fulfill that responsibility. Saint
John’s Hospice serves homeless and other needy men among us. We fulfill an essential ministry of
the Church and are part of Catholic Social Services (CSS) of the Archdiocese
of Philadelphia. We serve in
four distinct areas: 40-bed
residence for men—drug- and alcohol-free—to transition from
homelessness to independence. Our
men meet with our case managers to work through what caused their
homelessness and direct them to appropriate treatment and skill
development. 12-bed Good
Shepherd Program for medically fragile homeless men. Once again, this is a transition from
homelessness to independence, working with our case managers. Day services
for men in need—a nutritious and hot noon meal for more than 300 men
each weekday; as well as counseling services, daily showers and clothing, and
a mailroom for over 3,000. Overnight
“Coffee House” for up to 27 men each night from 10 pm to 6
am. We build trust and encourage
our men to seek the help they need to break their own cycle of
homelessness. We provide
refreshments, restrooms, showers, and staff support 365 nights a year. In all these
services, we go beyond meeting basic and physical needs. We strive to provide the dignity and
respect that offers each of our guests the strength to break out of
homelessness. Saint
John’s Hospice serves all without discrimination. We target our services to adult men
regardless of faith, race, economic condition, health, or sexual
orientation. (CSS serves women
and children through the Mercy Hospice and Women of Hope programs.) Saint
John’s Hospice is highly respected among the needy. We’re known on the street as
“John’s” or “Father John’s”. Our men see us as a holy place in
addition to a place to get assistance and nourishment. We began in
1963—almost 50 years ago—as a ministry of St. John the Evangelist
Church in center city. The Little
Brothers of the Good Shepherd served here for 25 years before turning Saint
John’s over to CSS. Saint
John’s today has a Franciscan flavor, with the long service of Brother
Kip Ledger, OFM Cap, and many Franciscan Capuchin postulants. Through
almost half a century, we have been supported by donors and volunteers of all
faiths. Our mission embraces not
only Christians but also our Jewish, Muslim, and Buddhist brothers and
sisters. _________________________ Management ~ Archdiocese of Philadelphia ·

Rights, developed by the Association of Fundraising Professionals and
other organizations. We are happy to acknowledge donor names. Check out our List of Donors for the last fiscal year. We publish names of donors unless they
request anonymity. Only volunteers and staff solicit funds for Saint John’s
Hospice. We do not hire solicitors. _________________________ Saint John’s Hospice relies on many volunteers in its
ministry to homeless persons. We
could not fulfill our mission without this generous service. During the last fiscal year (July 1, 2009 through June 30,
2010), volunteers contributed a total of 20,272 hours to fulfilling our
mission. This is equivalent to
our having more than 10 extra full time employees on our staff. These hours include all help that we have received and for
which we have not had to pay: individuals, groups, and community service
volunteers. |
