Father Greg Boyle is a rare one. A great catholic priest who is related via my brother's wife, my sister-in-law. Congrats to him and Homeboy Industries. Always needed in the inner cities.

(9,243 posts)1. Father Boyle made it into yesterday's sermon.
In an Episcopal Church.
The pastor gave his whole history of studying to be a Jesuit priest, and the small church in the inner city where there were no jobs and the beginning of Homeboy Industries beginning with a bakery. Talked about his having Leukemia too. Which I'd nearly forgot because he looks so healthy. 💕

(9,243 posts)5. I was thinking about this last night.
His model could be duplicated all over the world where there are not enough jobs and young men without guidance. The catholic church missed the boat by not doing more.
