Clare Project

“We are to become vessels of God’s compassion for others.” -St. Clare of Assisi

“We must be the church that goes out to the poor,” said Bishop Gutiérrez in a 2019 diocesan convention address. In that same address he mentioned development of, and financial support for, the Clare Project in Kensington “which would spiritually support those in need, the unsheltered and those suffering from substance abuse disorders.”

Kensington - a neighborhood in the city of Philadelphia - has made national headlines as ground zero for the nation’s opioid epidemic. The area had one of the highest rates of overdose deaths in Philadelphia, as the city sees its number of overdose deaths continue to climb from heroin and other toxic drugs that have been introduced to our urban areas.

In an effort to minister among those who live on the margins of society, particularly those who are unsheltered and facing substance use disorder, Clare Project members have been a pastoral and loving presence on the streets in Kensington under the direction of the Rev. Phillip Geliebter, a deacon in the Episcopal Diocese of Pennsylvania.

They walk among those who are unsheltered and facing substance use disorder in the Kensington area of the city offering support, prayers, medical triage and first aid.
