Tucson Catholic Diocese of Arizona, Bishop Edward Weisenberger, informs people that he does not need a large building to live in and that he is moving to a donated small house. In addition to a grant of $ 1 million from the St. Joseph Healthcare Foundation, donations from private individuals are being used to renovate the palace for the homeless. The renovation is expected to be completed within three to four months.
The 7,200-square-foot building built in the 1960s is also used as the Regina Clary Seminary, according to Steff Koinemann, official spokesman for the Tucson diocese. Many bishops used it as their palace.
Once a home for the heterogeneous, the inmates all live in one place. Catholic Community Services of Southern Arizona, a subsidiary of the diocese, is in charge of the shelter. Margaret Harmon, chief executive officer of Catholic Community Services said, “This will help inmates avoid isolation.
