For our 2009-10 season, InVocation is proud to be partnering with Minneapolis-based House of Charity,
Since 1952 House of Charity has been serving people in need. Tom Kondrak, better known as Brother De Paul, saw poverty all around him in the early 1950s. With very little money — but a lot of hope and faith — Brother De Paul set out on the selfless mission of providing food and shelter to people in need on Nicollet Island.
“…very significant to me is the highschoolers who actually get in the line and eat with the guests. When they get back home they write (sometimes even with a widow mites contribution which is so appreciated) stating that this was a genuinely meaningful experience to be with God’s poor.”
Today, House of Charity strives to maintain Brother De Paul’s vision, and have remained dedicated to helping those most in need, especially the homeless and inner-city poor. Their array of programs — food, housing, recovery, and workforce devlopment — enable individuals to succeed both personally and professionally. House of Charity offers true hope for a better tomorrow.
