St. Ignatius’ Prayer for Generosity

Lord, teach us to be generous, Teach us to serve You as You deserve, To give and not to count the cost, To fight and not to heed the wounds, To toil and not to seek for rest, To labor and not to ask for reward, Save that knowing we are doing Your will.

Our History

P.B.J. Outreach, Inc. in Detroit began with an idea when Deacon Tim Sullivan from Our Lady of Good Counsel Parish in Plymouth, Michigan and his wife, Gail, visited Boston in July 2002. Gail was there attending a seminar put on by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, where she is employed as an Investigator. While they were walking in the historic district of Boston, they saw a woman leaning against the Old State House building and holding a sign that read, “Help Me I’m Homeless.”

Our Mission

Our Mission is to provide dignity, respect and fellowship to our poor and marginalized brothers and sisters in the Detroit Area. We accomplish this through the distribution of living essentials such as food and clothing. We do this all to the glory of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
