It can refer to homeless people, poor people, criminals, mentally ill people, discriminated racial\/religious groups, etc.<\/p>\n<p>We serve God and live by the example St. Francis set. We plant seeds of hope in communities through our ministry work. Our hope is not to be recognized or praised for our work, but to attain recognition and help for those who are often overlooked and most in
