Catholic Families and How They Give Back.

Abstract

The son of Irish immigrant parents, Bob Healey grew up during the Great Depression, and he remembers what it was like to be poor. “When you’re poor, you never forget that,” he said, describing how he wore pieces of cardboard in his shoes to cover the holes. It was this upbringing, along with his strong Catholic faith, that led the 87-year-old down a path of hard work and generosity.
