Buenos Aires, Argentina, Apr 25, 2018 / 23:35 pm
A men's homeless shelter in Zeballos, Argentina has been named after a local bishop known for his attention to the poor.
The Jorge Novak, Friend of the Poor Homeless Shelter was inaugurated April 24.
The name commemorates the first bishop of Quilmes, Jorge Novak, who denounced the human rights violations committed by the military during the 1970s and '80s.
Bishop Novak loved the poor and led an austere life of deep spirituality. He was co-founder of the Ecumenical Movement for Human Rights. In late 2017, the investigation to initiate his process of beatification was begun.
