Covid-19 emergency activity
Support the aid and shelter activities of the Comunità Papa Giovanni XXIII for the COVID-19 emergency
The Community, even in this moment of health emergency, thanks to its families and welcoming realities, continues to take care of the last ones, adapting and modifying its activities.
Our day care centers are forcibly closed but we continue to stay close to the many young people with disabilities who attend them by calling on them every day. The Bethlehem Huts and the Street Units protect themselves by following all the indications but we continue to host and give comfort to all the people who live on the street and who are now even more alone. The Family Houses continue to welcome and, now more than ever, protect the fragile, sick and disabled people.
Everything changes and the Community is transformed, giving life to new forms of sharing and welcoming.
Today, the last ones are also sick people and this is why the Community has chosen to make one of its facilities, the Hotel Royal in Cattolica, available to the AUSL and the Prefecture, giving life to the first experience in Italy, created to welcome Covid-19 patients discharged from hospital who have overcome the most acute phase, but also people with suspected virus or asymptomatic people who do not have a safe place to spend the quarantine.
Here live 8 boys in self-isolation who take care, 24h on 24h, of guests received. The care provided by the boys is not mere assistance but a constant presence at the service of these people, to give them psychological support and comfort.
In all of this, the Community continues to welcome those who are alone and need help, but to do so it is necessary that the new guests spend a period of isolation that certifies the absence of the disease.
For this purpose, in Bologna, the Community has received the use of a parsonage from the Diocese that currently houses 2 people, and a second one will soon be available to house 2 more. To take care of these people there are two volunteers who have chosen self-isolation to give them not only assistance but also company and comfort.
Only after this period of time will people be able to be received in the structures of the nearby "Villaggio di Don Oreste" which brings together a Bethlehem Hut for the homeless, a therapeutic community for young people with addictions, a Family House and a home for adults.
The Pope John XXIII Community has decided to make itself available by committing itself as it can and as it succeeds, throughout Italy and in the countries where it is present, always close to the lonely and fragile, not stopping the welcome and converting its houses to reception facilities.
Social distancing, which at the moment is the only way to limit the spread of Covid-19, must not make us forget that there are people who need our help. Todaythey are the sick, lonely, marginalized and we too do all we can to help.
