Last Tuesday, March 8, in the Betharramite Parish of the "Sacred Heart" of Barracas, the 6th anniversary of the "Duchas del Sagrado" (the "Showers of the Sacred Heart”) was celebrated.
This initiative, inaugurated in 2016 on the inspiration of Pope Francis, offers a comprehensive support to homeless and vulnerable people.
Its main objective is to care for people and their hygiene, to offer hot showers, clothes, food, as well as health and medical assistance. Among other things, it promotes workshops for carpentry, print shops, art, gardening, masonry, cleaning and maintenance, cooking.
For six years, in the heart of Buenos Aires, there has been a place where the poor are given special treatment and are welcomed as they are, to make them feel the warmth of a home and to give them a friendly hug.
