Spiritual Care

The Capuchin Soup Kitchen is a ministry of the Province of St. Joseph of the Capuchin Order and we are always ready to offer spiritual care to anyone who seeks it. Drawing from the life of St. Francis of Assisi and inspired by the ministry of Blessed Solanus Casey, it is this Catholic spirit that sets the Capuchin Soup Kitchen apart from so many other social services agencies.
