Saint John's Courtyard Opens for the Neighborhood

As an outgrowth of conversations with neighbors and neighborhood organizations this past fall, and with monetary support from The Gubbio Project, Saint John will staff and open its courtyard for the neighborhood between 11am-1pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays on an exploratory basis. The times were selected to coincide with the hours that Centro Latino, across the street from the church on 15th, daily serves a bagged meal to go. Though due to Covid advisories we will not open bathrooms or serve coffee at this time, once restrictions are eased we may do so. Socially distanced seating will be made available on the stone benches and on chairs. We also welcome church members to this outdoor oasis during these hours for physically distant social respite, though only 12 visitors at any given time will be received due to city and diocese advisories. The church building and bathrooms, unfortunately, must remain closed. We will continue to receive direction from the city and diocese as Covid developments are monitored.
