The largest homeless ministry in the United States and a prominent Roman Catholic charity, Covenant House, is now on the LGBT bandwagon.
Covenant House was founded Bruce Ritter, a Franciscan priest, in 1972. Ritter was later embroiled in an abuse-scandal in which he was accused of molesting the young men coming in for shelter off the street.
It was first formed in Manhattan and Staten Island but now operates in 21 cities throughout the United States, Central America, and Canada.
The charity is still a dues-paying member of Catholic Charities and Catholic Charities of New York.
Covenant House says that LGBTQ youth need to be “celebrated” and has received a $200k grant to “enhance services to LGBTQ.”
An “LGBTQ” Inclusion Test was implemented in every Covenant House location in 2017.
Is it really in any official sense a "Catholic Charity"?
Good points.
Isn’t this one of Chic-Fil-A’s new premiere donation sinks?
Figures.
Matthew 7:16
i used to give to them.
i got flooded with donation letters and stopped.
now this confirms my gratefulness that i stopped giving to them.
“Covenant House, is now on the LGBT bandwagon” simply to get media attention.
The thieves at Covenant House have been corrupt for many years. No donation should go to the corrupt House.
and I think I know how they celebrate......
My grandmother gave them a significant amount of money.
Until Bruce Ritter got caught molesting the very runaways he claimed to be trying to help.
He used to compose real tear-jerker fundraising letters about those kids. It made her furious.
