SOCIAL PASTORAL CENTER
”OUR LADY OF MERCY”
TURȚ - ROMÂNIA
“Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.” (Matthew 25:40)
”Love for widows and orphans, prisoners, and the sick and needy of every kind, is as essential to [the Church] as the ministry of the sacraments and preaching of the Gospel. The Church cannot neglect the service of charity any more than she can neglect the Sacraments and the Word”. — Pope Benedict VXI, Deus Caritas Est (2005), paragraph 22
As catholic christians we believe that every human being is created in the image and likeness of God and therefore has inherent worth and value. We are convinced that in loving the poor ones, we love Jesus Christ himself, who identified with the poor, regardless of nation or creed.

We would like to bring to your attention a project which we are developing in our parish: a day center for poor children, a house where hungry children will be served lunch and dinner everyday after school. We intend to help the poor children from around the town of Turț, including the Roma population.
There will be help to complete and further their academic studies as well as spiritual education. The center will benefit from the help of volunteers from around the world: students from the Franciscan University of Steubenville, America, Germany, Italy, England and volunteers from other countries.
