US parish builds Bicol GK homes
August 31, 2008
SAN JOSE, California =For the parishioners of St. Francis of Assisi here, California, selfless love and compassion for the poorest of the poor must truly transcend borders. The St. Francis of Assisi has built a village for poor families in Ocampo, Camarines Sur through Gawad Kalinga (GK) in keeping with their creed to serve and look after the poor wherever they may be. St. Francis of Assisi is the first parish in the US to formally partner with GK and their very first village, consisting of 35 homes, was constructed in 2006. It continues to support the families that are now residing in these homes.
