Diocesan Charity in
České Budějovice

Cold? Hunger? Homeless? St. Paul Home helps the homeless people in České Budějovice. Homeless people, who for some reason decided to stay on the street even though they were offered asylum, can turn to the premises of the shelter every working day in order to eat something and warm up a bit. St. Paul Home provides these people with hot soups. In the following text, you will find out that we have been preparing food for the homeless since 2011, during the winter time even on Saturdays. You will also learn who prepares the food during the weekends and who hands it out.

New era of endless possibilities is ahead of us. Thanks to the novelty which will be introduced on Thursday January 16, 2013, it is now possible for the socially disadvantaged children to access the Internet with help of our volunteers in the clubroom.

We, the staff of the Diocesan Charity in České Budějovice, often ponder if this or that activity we do is of any use. If we didn´t think about the things in the way we do think about them – that is critically, with examining the practical outcomes and sometimes even doubting – there would be a risk that our activities might remain flat and shallow.

The amnesty granted by the Czech Republic President Václav Klaus affects also the workers of the Diocesan Charity in České Budějovice. Those who ask them for help most often are the families of those who were amnestied, or the amnestied prisoners themselves, who currently are not in jail – that is those, who were released on parole or those who were sentenced to community service. The workers also help them to find and provide them with accommodation and food.
