United in Christ, Called to Mission
Sojourner House is a homeless shelter in Eau Claire run by the La Crosse Diocese Catholic Charities. The house provides a safe, clean place for adult men and women who are experiencing homelessness; affirms the Christ-like dignity in every individual through compassionate presence, listening, and hospitality; and empowers people to rebuild their lives with the engagement of the greater community. Guests may sleep overnight, shower, wash their clothes, and eat breakfast while ensuring their personal dignity, respect and safety.
St. Charles Borromeo volunteers prepare and serve meals on designated Friday and Sunday nights.
St. Peter the Apostle volunteers prepare and serve meals every third Wednesday. Contact Carrie Geissler, coordinator.
Additional volunteers are always needed and are very welcome, either as a regular member of a group or as a substitute. To volunteer through either parish please contact the parish central office.
