7 Help. Healing. Love: By the Numbers

Behind every number or statistic at the Pope Francis Center, there are human faces and beating hearts. A mother who lost her job, and then slowly her way, now sleeps alone beneath a highway bridge. An elderly veteran whose body and mind can’t escape the terrors of a long-ago war. Or a teen who ran away from an abusive home but continues to mask his hurt and pain through addiction. These are the guests we welcome each day with open arms and open doors. Their words of gratitude for what YOU make possible communicate more beauty and meaning than any spreadsheet or pie chart ever could.

“FOR ME, POPE FRANCIS CENTER IS LOVE, JOY AND FAMILY, BECAUSE THAT’S WHAT IT GAVE ME.”
