St. Mary’s is called to be a prayerful, compassionate community centered in Jesus Christ. As witnesses to Christ’s love, we are committed to accept and value each person. Empowered by the Holy Spirit, we serve one another as members of the family of God.

Through celebration of the Sacraments since 1882, the Holy Spirit continues to fashion our community to be a shelter of peace, a witness of hope, and a compassionate neighbor. “May grace and peace be yours,” 1 Peter 1:2b

agree to work with staff to develop a plan for regaining stability. We provide support to help families work toward their goals by locating resources, providing job and educational support, assisting with financial planning, and helping to locate affordable housing.

Once in the program, families will spend their nights at the local host congregation, staying in each facility for one week at a time. Families will stay together and be served dinner each night by the host congregation. In the mornings after breakfast, we will transport families to our day center. Children will then attend school and adults will work towards individualized goals. Each evening, families will return to the host congregation. This service is designed to help families regain stability and the length of stay typically lasts about 60 days with a maximum program length of 90 days.

Families and referral sources can contact Family Promise at 208-882-0165 or info@familypromisepalouse.org and arrange an intake interview. Guests must pass a criminal background check showing no violent crimes and commit to program guidelines, including being drug-free.

If you are interested in volunteering to help host Family Promise by staying overnight with our FPP guests or providing meals, contact Kathylu Szabo at 208-882-5270. St. Mary’s, in conjunction with St. Mark’s Episcopal, hosts Family Promise four times a year.
