St. Chad’s Sanctuary is a voluntary project supported by many friends, including

St. Chad’s Cathedral and The Salvation Army.

It’s a place of welcome and hospitality for

Asylum Seekers, Refugees and Immigrants.

We greatly appreciate donations of food, hygiene items and clothing.

We also accept financial help as well!!!

Thank you, Margaret Walsh, IJS (Infant Jesus Sister)
