The Catholic Church in Mongolia has built a “House of Mercy” — a charity centre for migrants and destitute in the national capital Ulaanbaatar that Pope Francis will inaugurate and bless during his first visit to the central Asian nation in September.
The project started in 2019 thanks to efforts by Giorgio Marengo, an Italian missionary and apostolic prefect of Ulaanbaatar whom Pope Francis made a cardinal last year. The project received funding from Catholic charity Caritas and the papal charity, Pontifical Mission Societies , Australia. Most homeless people are not registered with the national health system and therefore do not have access to treatment in public health facilities, Fides reported.
The centre is being established in Bayangol district, as per the PMS report, as it has a population of more than 150,000 with diverse social and economic backgrounds. Homelessness is a common and complex issue in urban areas such as Ulaanbaatar. Development groups estimate the city has at least 7,000 homeless people among an estimated population of 1.4 million.
