COOLING CENTER

In December 2021, the Fr. Virgil Cordano Cneter doubled its square-footage and service capacity by leasing the adjoining storefront in collaboration with Good Samaritan Shelter, which is being used as a cooling center to offer our homeless sisters and brother a safe respite from inclement weather and the elements during the day. The Cooling Center is open from Monday through Friday from 9:00am to 3:00pm.
