Emergency Homeless Shelter on Freeze Nights

The Emergency Homeless Shelter on Freeze Nights Ministry reaches out to the homeless. We offer food, shelter and companionship on nights when the temperature reaches 32 degrees or lower.

On freeze nights, there are seven churches in the area that provide for the homeless. St. Ignatius is assigned Sunday evening. This work is done in conjunction with ARCH (Austin Resource Center for the Homeless). Parishioners are needed to prepare meals, to spend time as host and hostess for the evening and to spend the night.
