Papal charity to open night shelter for homeless ‎

Among the services that homeless people around the Vatican are receiving from the charity of Pope ‎Francis, will be added another one – a place to sleep.   After a place for shower, a barber’s service in the ‎Vatican and a hot meal at Rome’s Terminus station, the homeless will soon have a dormitory near the ‎Vatican, said the Pope’s Almoner or official alms-giver, Archbishop Konrad Krajewski.  “We are ‎preparing something,” the Polish archbishop told Italian news agency Ansa.  The site on Via dei ‎Penitenzieri close to the Vatican, is currently being renovated.  The 30-bed facility will be used only as ‎night shelter and will be managed by volunteers.  The date for the start of the service has not been fixed ‎as yet.  As Archbishop Krajewski has always said, these services are meant to give dignity to the person.‎
