National Homeless Persons Memorial Service.

12/22/2025

Dec 21, 2025 was the LONGEST NIGHT of the year. Cathedral of Saint Peter hosted the annual memorial service. During this longest night they opened their doors to provide shelter for up to 20 unhoused persons. Stay tuned for hopefully more progress on addressing this important community concern. Kudos to the Belleville Homeless Coalition for pulling together this interfaith group of speakers. 🌃💫🏠💕
