We are here!

We arrived safely at about 12:30. We were greeted by Mike Morgan, who is on staff here, on a borrowed school bus, who drove us to our home for the next three nights. There we met Fr. Mike McCue, the director of the program. After a brief orientation, we listened to Rick, who works with DeSales Service Works.  He shared his struggles with addiction and what it has been like to stay sober.

In a few hours, we will go to Holy Name school, a small catholic school across the alley, to help with after school care. Then we will cook dinner together, and half the group will go to Joseph house, a homeless shelter. The other half will stay behind to watch a film about Camden. The rest of us will go to the shelter on Saturday night.
