February 1, 2022. By Ken Mammarella

“In 1976, Brother Ronald Giannone, OFM Cap., was sent by his Capuchin Franciscan Order to Delaware. After ascertaining community needs, he obtained funds for the Delmarva Peninsula’s first emergency shelter for homeless women. Mary Mother of Hope House opened Oct. 7, 1977. His mission since: Assure that “the poor should never be treated poorly.” The Ministry of Caring budget now tops $10 million, with 19 programs, including childcare, dining rooms, shelters, and housing options. Brother Ronald also oversees several housing operations in Wilmington, with a $7 million budget, and one near his childhood home in the Bronx.” Reproduced courtesy of Today Media and The Delaware Valley Italian-American Herald.
