DENVER—Denver’s homeless population always knew there was one place they could get respect downtown from Father Woody at the Holy Ghost Roman Catholic Church.
This week, 16 years after he died, an expanded homeless shelter was named in his honor.
KCNC TV reports that shelter serves meals on real plates, take showers, and use phones provided for them.
For many it will mean no more sleeping alleys or under bridges. Although Denver already has several centers there more homeless than there is space.
Monsignor Charles B. Woodrich was better known as Father Woody.
A long-time friend of Father Woody, Don Gallegos, said, “This is what he really wanted to do.”
