St Anthony Shelter for Renewal — Local services in New York

Hey everybody I just wanted to say that I’m a resident in st.Anthony’s Shelter I’m leaving tomorrow it’s my last day of my extensions that was given to me and I am grateful for them being there for me in a time of my need it’s the cleanest shelter I have ever been Woww it’s the words I will express they are very very strict with their rules and regulations I truly understand why they are the way they are and it’s because if they won’t tighten you up nothing will they don’t play games they will try to help you but first you gotta help your self it’s a preparation for you to grasp of doing things responsibly for your futures well being some of the guys doesn’t like it because they want to continue doing negative things and staying messed up stuck on stupid park on dum and eventually graduate from retarded university and that is a no no tolerance because they just want you to be a better person and to continue to the right path and nothing else for me it was an adventure a great experience the holiday of Christmas was beautiful they gave us clothes And for my birthday they celebrated my birthday as well and I have never celebrated a birthday in my life and I was happy that it was celebrated for me so I leave you with my heart at peace I’m thanking you graciously and that we all pray to God send you many blessings and watch over those that are there now and help them find their way for a better beautiful brighter future may god bless...

I had stayed at Saint Anthony's shelter some time ago and found it to be a warm and caring place to a good extent. They were, however; quite masochistic to a certain degree--had spies within their brethren to seek to psychologically castigate those that were not in accordance with what I call their Satanic practices. If one is so much as one minute late, there starts a process of exclusion where the next time one is left out in the street for that one day, placed on a black list, and will gladly cast a person back out in the streets. While I understand that there has to be discipline because many homeless people are not as innocent as they claim and I agree with this principle, nonetheless, in some areas they are quite ruthless and do not in the least amount of degree follow the forgiveness and teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ. In my case I was homeless, I have never been on drugs, nor do I smoke, nor do I drink. A old-reclusive Catholic Priest had sent me there, if he knew what was going on I am sure he would be betrayed in his ideology. They take people that have done great harm to society and turn them into Angelic innocent Priests, or whatever title...

This shelter is a blessing...Thank you all friars and missionaries Thank you Father Ignacio and Jimmy.. I remember myself I fell into hospital because asthma problems and Father Ignacio was asking and calling if I'm OK or if I need something at midnight!..not even my own family did that!
