The Poverello Outreach was started in January 2012 by Brother Fran McGann and other Parishioners of our Cluster Parishes.
Clients are only seen by appointment on the First and Third Wednesday of the month. Please call 815-992-1145 to make an appointment. Walk-ins cannot be accepted.
Financial assistance is not based on a client's age, ethnic origin, religion, gender or any other artificial reason.
The mission of the Poverello Outreach is to live "The Church" every day, not just within the walls of a building. The Poverello takes the church to our communities and serves God by serving others.
The Poverello Outreach provides assistance to those who want to help themselves, but after exhausting all other resources, find themselves unable to meet expenses of basic human needs and services.
