St. Ignatius Loyola calls us to be men and women for others.

To respond to that call, Charis offers service opportunities to those in their 20s & 30s.  Recently, Charis launched a partnership with Port Ministries, an organization that serves the Chicago community by focusing on the mind, body, and spirit of those in need.  Port offers a wide variety of services including after-school tutoring, a bread truck that feeds those living on the streets, a free clinic, and ESL classes.

The Port Ministries
5013 South Hermitage Avenue
