The Vatican has donated
a building near St Peter's hitherto used by nuns to shelter
Rome's homeless and poor, ANSA sources said Friday.
The building, which overlooks St Peter's Square, will be run
as a dormitory by the Office of Papal Charities and the Sant'
Egidio activist community.
The "well-appointed" building will be able to house up to 50
people, the sources said.
Initially some 30-35 homeless and poor will be housed, they
said.
