Why Are Homeless People Criminalized Rather Than Ministered To?
January 20, 2016 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
$35Event Navigation
Learn about homelessness in San Antonio and the effective ministry of the Catholic Worker House on the East Side of San Antonio. Led by Chris Plaunche, M.D.
2 Wednesdays, Jan. 20 & 27, 7-9 PM, $35 / 2 sessions
Founded by Dorothy Day, Catholic Worker houses of hospitality, around the world seek to fulfill specific needs that their particular communities have. Specifically on the East Side, we see a need for a safe and welcoming space for folks to be fed physically and spiritually. Because Christ identified himself with the marginalized and oppressed, it is in their faces and eyes we most expect to encounter him. For information: www.catholicworker.org
