Labor Day was first celebrated in the 1800s to mark the economic achievements and dedication of American workers. It became a national holiday in 1894. It is also known as the unofficial end of summer (but not in FL of course). 😎 😉

We love partnering with our neighbors like Cathedral Church of St. Peter and are thankful for being able to bless others through our shower ministry. If you would like to make a difference, let us know!

A warm welcome and a hot shower can make all the difference! 🚿 This morning, the Cathedral joined forces with our friends at St. Pete First UMC for their Tuesday Morning Shower Ministry, helping nearly 30 of our neighbors start their day refreshed. Pictured here is our Vicar, Fr. Ted, teaming up with Tuesday Team Captain Penny! If you have a heart for serving our neighbors on the streets, we would love to have you join this incredible outreach team. Reach out to Fr. Ted to get involved.
