Empty Office Building to Become Beacon of Hope for the Homeless in Pittsburgh | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

An empty office building is about to become a beacon of hope for the homeless and impoverished in downtown Pittsburgh. Catholic Charities of Pittsburgh is launching its compassion corner initiative, which will transform a vacant 45,000 square foot building into a center for health care and mental health services, job training and meal programs, and a variety of other resources. The Executive Director of Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Pittsburgh, Susan Rauscher, joins to explain the genesis of this program and the need in Pittsburgh for such a facility. Rauscher tells us about the collaboration with local officials and her reaction to Mayor Gainey saying "Christians can't just read and teach the Bible but need to show their faith through works and deed." The project is keen on not just emergency services, but also providing long-term stability. Rauscher shares how they will do that. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
