Homelessness/Affordable Housing Efforts
As followers of St. Francis, we are called to stand in solidarity with those made poor and homeless. With so many in our world today living on the streets or facing foreclosures, the prospect of working to help meet that breadth of need is daunting. We can draw inspiration and courage from words attributed to St. Francis: "Start by doing what's necessary; then do what's possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible."
Take a look at the educational and formative programs, advocacy efforts and direct service work going on in Holy Name Province ministries to assist those made homeless.
To add to the list, contact Fran Eskin-Royer in Holy Name Province's Office for Justice, Peace and Integrity of Creation.
