Vatican Office offers help to homeless woman and baby
(Vatican Radio) The Office of
Papal Charities has offered hospitality for one year, on behalf of Pope
Francis, to a homeless Romanian woman who gave birth to a child overnight on
the street located in front of St. Peter’s Basilica. The incident happened in
the Piazza Pio XII, located in Italian territory.
The woman and her child were
admitted to the nearby Santo Spirito hospital immediately after the birth, and
are doing well.
Archbishop Konrad Krajewski,
the Papal Almoner, had known the woman previously, since she is among the
homeless who live in the neighborhood around St. Peter’s Basilica, and had made
use of the facilities provided to the homeless by Pope Francis.
Archbishop Krajewski had also
asked her during her pregnancy to make use of the facility for mothers with
children run by Blessed Mother Teresa’s Missionaries of Charity.
The Archbishop made the new
offer of hospitality when he visited the woman in the hospital. The Office of
Charities has also given special assistance to the woman’s partner, who is also
Romanian.
