Who We Are The mission of the St. Alphonsus Helping Thy Neighbor (HTN) ministry is to share the love of Christ and spread His message by helping to improve the living conditions of the neediest in our communities. Following the teachings of Jesus and inspired by the Holy Spirit, we will strive to provide beds to sleep on, tables and chairs for families to share meals, and other furniture where families can gather and live in a self-sufficient home that promotes personal dignity. HTN, through its team of volunteers, partners, and donors, will provide furniture and other family services to those in need. The Ministries HTN supports work with families residing in specific neighborhoods of Philadelphia, Bucks, and Montgomery Counties of Pennsylvania.
