Alms, psalms for the poor

Tom Heinen reports in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on local Capuchin Franciscans new St. Francis Institute at the order's inner city facility.

In some respects, the institute is a re-founding.

In 1985, the Capuchins founded the Benedict Institute for Urban Ministry at one of the parishes they run here, St. Benedict the Moor Parish, which is still known for its nightly meal program for the poor. That institute gave more than 200 men and women experience doing various urban ministries - including many from local Catholic and Episcopal seminaries - before times changed, participation dropped and it became inactive, Veik said.

Time's passed, but how did times change after 1985 so that this prior effort ended?
