Sisterly Service in the City of Brotherly Love

Volunteers from the Nazareth Volunteer Ministry traveled to Philadelphia in October for their third visit to the St. James community. This visit shifted the group's focus from previous trips, which primarily involved performing home repairs for local residents, toward participating in the daily routines of the school, church, and neighborhood.

During this trip, volunteers engaged in activities such as sharing breakfast and greeting students as they arrived at school. The Nazareth Volunteer Ministry maintains an ongoing relationship with the St. James community that began through a family connection between volunteer David Kasievich and Sister Teresa Margaret Bransky.
