Habemus papam! “A few minutes before the white smoke, a small seagull chick appeared near the chimney of the Sistine Chapel. Alongside the chick were two larger seagulls, almost as if they were a family. Just as the mother was feeding the chick, the chimney began to smoke.” [AP]

Check out this article from our CEO Sister Nancy Downing for @USCatholic, highlighting the impact of trauma in the lives of St. Ann's Center clients, and the many other families with children who experience homelessness and housing instability in our country.

[U.S. Catholic magazine @USCatholic]

As the rates of homelessness rise, it's all the more important to be aware of the realities around this injustice.

March is #WomensHistoryMonth! The #Catholic Church has witnessed countless women throughout the ages who dedicated their lives to Our Lord and those He loves.
