Indeed, sometimes we see people like us and we cannot imagine the life they have behind them. In Caritas we attend to many people, almost “all” those who come expecting immediate solutions, food, help, comfort, or whatever.

A Pope who introduced us to the joy of the Gospel
Wednesday, April 23, 2025
