La Madonna Della Strada

For decades, Sister Grace Miller, Sister Rita and CW fought for the homeless community. Thousands of homeless people came through their doors. Some were just seeking a place to stay for the night or a hot meal. Others stayed for months.

The pair saw some walk away into a better path in life and more stable living. Others were less fortunate.

The wall of Miller’s office was a monument to the latter. It was plastered with dozens of obituaries documenting the lives of the many they had lost.

Miller’s belief in homeless people’s right to basic respect extended to the grave. She would often go toe-to-toe with the county to help ensure funeral costs were covered, including burial.
