The food bags were created by Fr. John Francis in 2011 while an Episcopal Deacon in California. This bag provides a homeless person with enough food to sustain them for a few days and allows us to help them. The food bag contains Vienna Sausages, Tuna or Chicken packages, water, juice, crackers and peanut butter, and cookies too.

💒 A Thank You for Our Love?
We received this beautiful note from a local resident! See how we love and how it touches others!
“Good afternoon,
I just wanted to contact you to thank you for the beautiful sign outside–the one that welcomes everyone regardless of race, religion, sexuality, gender, or immigration status. I live in Flourtown and pass this sign all the time, and I appreciate its hopefulness. I pointed it out to one of my sons today, and he agreed that it sends a wonderful message. I love that it allowed us to have a conversation about inclusiveness and that he sees people in the community so publicly sending this positive message.
Thanks for putting love into the community!”

“Blessing Bags” Come to Saint Miriam; All To Help Others!Blessing “Food Bags” Come to Saint Miriam! We have introduced a new ministry at Saint Miriam. Our food bags are filled with nutritious food and goodies. We introduced these Food bags on Sunday, the 19th of August at the 9:00am Mass and the idea of having a ready bag prepared and ready to hand out to our homeless brothers and sisters was greeted with enthusiasm by the members of our church. The food bags were created by Fr. John Francis in 2011 while an Episcopal Deacon in California. This bag provides a homeless person with enough food to sustain them for a few days and allows us to help them. The food bag contains Vienna Sausages, Tuna or Chicken packages, water, juice, crackers and peanut butter, and cookies too. Please help us by (1) distributing these bags, and (2) helping with needed supplies!
We have also been given a supply of Adult Depends-style liners. Please see someone of staff – they are free and boxed as new!
