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 time of health emergency, thanks to its families and host realities, continues to care for the last, 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 Street Units safeguard themselves by following all directions but we continue to house and comfort all the people living on the streets who are now even more alone. The Family Homes continue to welcome and, now more than ever, protect people who are frail, sick, with disabilities.
Everything changes and the Community is transformed, giving rise to new forms of sharing and welcoming.
Today the last ones are also the sick people, and that 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 birth to the first experience in Italy, created to welcome Covid-19 patients discharged from the 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 their quarantine.
Here live 8 boys in self-isolation who take care, 24 hours a day, of the welcomed guests. That provided by the boys is not pure assistance but a constant presence at the service of these people, to give them psychological support and comfort.
Throughout all this, the Community continues to welcome those who are lonely and need help, but to do so it is necessary for the new acolytes to spend a period of isolation that certifies the absence of the disease.
For this purpose, in Bologna, the Community has received in use from the Diocese a rectory that currently accommodates 2 people; a second one will soon be made available that will be able to accommodate 2 more. To take care of these people there are two volunteers who have chosen self-isolation to give them as well as assistance, companionship and comfort.
Only after this period will the people be able to be housed in the facilities of the nearby "Don Oreste's Village," which brings together a Bethlehem Hut for homeless people, a Therapeutic Community for young people with addictions, a Family House, and a shelter for adults.
The Pope John XXIII Community has decided to make itself available by committing itself as it can and as it succeeds, all over Italy and in the countries where it is present, always close to the lonely and fragile, not stopping welcoming and converting its houses to reception facilities.

Social distancing, which at the moment is the only tool to limit the spread of Covid-19, must not make us forget that there are people who need our help. Today they are the sick, lonely, marginalized people, and we too do all we can to help.
