Accompaniment, Service and Peacemaking 

“In the face the Other expresses their eminence, the dimension of height and divinity from which they descend....In front of the face, I always demand more

of myself.”

 -- Emmanuel Lévinas

 

“Mindful that they are bearers of peace, they shall seek out ways of unity and fraternal harmony through dialogue, trusting in the divine seed in everyone,

and in the transforming power of love.”

--Rule of the Secu lar Franciscans

 

 

Faithful Fools

The Faithful Fools Street Ministry was founded in 1998 when the ministries of Rev. Kay Jorgensen and Sister Carmen Barsody converged in the Tenderloin District of San Francisco. Together with people from faith based and educational institutions, they live, learn and work with people who struggle with homelessness, mental illness, poverty and addictions in the Tenderloin, an area of the city people are advised to stay away from, yet it is a neighborhood where 3500 children live as well as many immigrant families.


Following the footprints of Jesus and Saint Francis of Assisi, they work to create a loving and committed community of people that acknowledges the worth and dignity of every human being from all walks of life, and who meet and come to know each other through the arts, Bible study, meditation, advocacy, counseling and supportive accompaniment through the tasks and needs of daily life.
