Dono Di Maria

"By 1970 Mother Teresa had already expressed a desire to open a shelter for the poor in Rome. “It was a great desire of hers. And the Holy Father (John Paul II), when he visited our home in Calcutta in 1986, shared this desire. The Dono di Maria shelter is the fruit of the encounter between these two desires, that of our mother and that of the Holy Father,” Sister Poustani stated. The shelter was opened on May 21, 1988, by Pope John Paul II." (Catholic News Agency)
