Father Csaba B\u00f6jte, Franciscan priest well known for his charitable work, accompanied by two representatives from the St. Francis Foundation, Dr. Agnes Madarassy and John Cs\u00e1k visited Cleveland, Ohio during their North American tour. They chose St. Emeric Church as the center for the day\u2019s activities, which began with the celebration of Mass at 11 AM. The church was filled to capacity with parishioners, visitors, and guests from the Cleveland area and also from as far as Columbus, Ohio. The Hungarian Scouts also participated, with some members of the Scout Folk Ensemble dressed in the costume of the Szekely region of Transylvania, where Father hails from. Father Csaba\u2019s inspirational homily presented in his unique style focused on the Franciscan\u2019s motto, also known as the prayer of St. Francis, &#8212; \u201cLord, make me an instrument of your peace\u2026\u201d , emphasizing the power of love as Christ taught us when facing challenges and by working together in harmony and peace for the good of others.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Following Mass a reception lunch in Hungarian style, of goulash and \u201el\u00e1ngos\u201d prepared lovingly by the ladies of St. Emeric Parish welcomed the 300 guests in the hall downstairs.

These homes help the most vulnerable, the poor, the neglected, and the destitute children in society by providing not only basic necessities such as shelter, food, clothing, education, but above all human dignity and hope for their future, and he said that the success rate is outstanding. Father Bojte then proceeded to vividly illustrate with real life stories not only the everyday challenges in the lives of these children, but also the heart-warming successes in the lives of these individuals as having become contributing members of society. It is interesting to note that Fr. Bojte\u2019s visit for us coincides with the season of Lent when all Christians are called to deepen their relationship with God through prayer, penance, and practice of charity.
