Wonderful article from last falls, Inside the Vatican A smidgen: “Our days are marked by the joy of being a Christian, by the brightness of a smile, and by the warmth of gratitude!” Sister Antoinetta Colacchi said to Pope Francis on December 14 when the Pope visited the Dispensary of Santa Marta in Vatican City, which she directs. The dispensary is a small clinic tucked just inside the walls of the Vatican. It serves primarily poor immigrant children who find it difficult to obtain good medical care in Italy. For the Pope, the trip was quite short. The dispensary is just across the street from the Domus Sanctae Marthae, where the Pope lives. The sisters who run the dispensary are from the same order as the sisters who care for the Pope’s residence — the Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul. For her quiet, humble work in caring for these children, and as a representative of all who care for the poor, weak and needy, we honor Sister Antoinetta as one of our “Top Ten” people of 2013. https://insidethevatican/magazine/people/sister-antonietta-colacchi-nun-daughters-charity-st-vincent-de-paul-director-dispensary-santa-marta
