[NEWS] 25 years of helping the homeless

SISTER MARY Scullion once spent a week on the streets with the homeless to learn what it was like to have to find food when she was hungry and a place to sleep at night.

"I had to depend on the kindness of strangers," Sister Mary, of the Religious Sisters of Mercy, recalled last week.

"I did ask people if they could spare a couple of dollars. And sometimes, when people would leave food that they were discarding, I would take that."
