DAY CENTER
The Center is open from Monday through Friday from 9am to 3pm.
Fr. Virgil Cordano Center is a collaborative ministry of the Franciscan Friars at Old Mission of Santa Barbara and the Daughters of Charity at St. Vincent’s that is rooted in the Gospel and the Social Teachings of the Catholic Church. Faithful to the traditions of St. Francis of Assisi and St. Vincent de Paul, we provide a place of welcome and support for the human and spiritual well-being for our sisters and brothers in need.
The Fr. Virgil Cordano Center reaches out and welcomes Santa Barbara’s most vulnerable population: our sisters and brothers who are without permanent safe housing and provides them with a place of welcome, spiritual counseling, support for their human dignity and hope for a better future for themselves and their families.
