This everyday hero has visited us today, and yet again: he didn’t come with empty hands. Without big publicity, but with dedicated work, and a modest Christian attitude he silently supports our work from the background, helping the poor people of the Oradea Diocese.

The annual general meeting of Caritas Catolica was held on Tuesday, 16th of March, in the festivity hall of the Bishop's Palace.

In previous years, Bishop Laszlo Böcskei has traditionally visited all the home care centers of Caritas Catolica in the diocese, as well as the patients they care for. As epidemiological regulations did not allow such a visit this year, on Friday, 26 February 2021, the bishop invited the staff of Caritas Catolica to the Bishop's Palace in Oradea. At present Caritas cares for 276 patients in the diocese on a daily basis.

In the context of the winter period, and very cold weather announced by the authorities, Caritas Catolica tries to help even more the homeless and the needy.
