The Pro-Cathedral has joined with other churches in the North Bay community to form the Compassionate Committee for the Homeless in North Bay. The committee’s ultimate goal is to work with existing agencies and organizations to find permanent housing for the homeless, however, we recognize that this may take time, and right now the homeless have urgent needs. Because of this, we will be researching what those needs are, identifying the gaps in existing services, and providing the faithful with information on how to help those in need in our community.
Under Regional News in our parish bulletin you will see information on this committee periodically high-lighting some different community efforts.
The Compassionate Committee for the Homeless in North Bay is once again putting together backpacks filled with donated essential items, for those in need.
We will be accepting donated items for the Backpacks of Love Campaign at the Pro-Cathedral of the Assumption garage on McIntyre St. W. from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, May 9, 2026.
