A special episode marking 40 years of service provided by the Cardinal Hume Centre in London. Sister Maria Parcher tells us about her journey to becoming a Daughter of Charity and how she was there at the beginning of this project founded to serve the needs of younger homeless people in Westminster. George O’Neill, the Centre’s CEO, joins our conversation to explain what has changed and what is the same. He reminds us that homelessness is growing and sadly the problems, for families and young people experiencing homelessness, continue. Sr Maria describes how Vincentian spirituality and Benedictine spirituality are sides of the same coin that inform the ethos of this special place. ‘The Daughters of Charity go out to people. We’ve always done that. The Benedictine Order always invites people in.’
