London – February 2004. Since its adoption in 2001 as a Delegation charity, The Passage Homeless Centre has received considerable support from the Constantinian Order in Great Britain and Ireland.
At a meeting of the Delegation’s council in February 2004, a further £5,000 (€7,500) was donated to the work of the homeless centre in addition to an earlier donation of £5,000 (€7,500) made in early 2003.
Sister Ellen Flynn, Director of The Passage said, “ Please let your members know how welcome their continued friendship is and their support of our work. There is always plenty to do with the money as you are aware. We are as busy as ever. The Day Centre continues to provide a safe, warm environment for about 350 people a day and Passage House has overnight accommodation for 53 people who would otherwise be sleeping on the streets. The services we take to those still living on the streets are being increased by the appointment of two additional outreach workers. Please pass on my heartfelt thanks to all the knights and dames involved and assure them that they will be remembers regularly in our prayers for our benefactors” .
Many Constantinian knights and dames continue to be actively engaged in the administrative and charitable initiatives of the homeless centre.
