Saint John’s Hospice was established by a Saint John Evangelist church pastor known as Monsignor Antony and The Little Brothers of The Good Shepherd in I963. It is social services Catholic shelter meant for men living in Center City, Philadelphia. It started as an outreach ministry to assist and serve the homeless and poor in the area. It continues to offer life-sustaining and crucial services with kindness, respect and dignity to the Philadelphian men who are homeless.

It serves over three thousand meals every week besides providing mail services, clothing, showers, counseling, medical assistance and case management. This is made possible by the on-going funding from organizations and individual donors who believe in the hospice’s mission. Thanks to them, St. John can continue serving the needy and the suffering in the community as well as deliver its gospel-focused mission.

The services provided at St. John’s Hospice currently major on four distinct areas.
