Description

Our ministry here at St Augustine-St Francis Xavier has been ongoing at St Francis Xavier since 1892. Over those many years, parishioners have responded to the needs of the poor in our community through two World Wars, the Spanish Flu epidemic, and the Great Depression.  

The distribution of food to those who need it is probably the most visible function to parishioners, as they generously provide donations for the pantry.  The people who come to us know that their needs and requests will be kept confidential.

 We work out of the church building on the corner of Sixth Avenue and Carroll Street. You enter through the gate on Carroll Street at the back of the church building. You can also call the Parish Office at (718) 638-1880. 

Should you be in need of any assistance, please reach out to us. 

This ministry welcomes new members. We would especially like to have those with legal, social/community service, and health care expertise to act as consultants when needs arise.  Expertise in these areas is sorely needed. If you are interested in joining us, please call the Parish Office at (718) 638-1880.

Your financial donation is greatly needed and greatly appreciated.
