St. Joseph's Northside

Learn About This Ministry & Current Volunteer Opportunities

About

St. Joseph's Northside was started by Sister Peg Brennan in 2005 to help people in the northwest part of the city of Rochester. The Lyell Avenue area is a neighborhood dealing with many serious issues, among them: poverty, drug dealing, prostitution, and violence. The ministry provides a safe haven for neighbors to come have a meal, connect with others, and learn about resources that could help get their lives on track.
