Radio Interview: Source of All Hope accompanies people experiencing homelessness on Baltimore streets

An outreach program at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Baltimore is changing lives on city streets.

George Matysek speaks with two missionaries from Source of All Hope – Erin Kelter and seminarian Daniel Otto – about their work accompanying people experiencing homelessness. Rather than acting as social workers, they build genuine friendships, offering presence, prayer and the simple dignity of being seen and known by name.

Later, Father Brendan Fitzgerald, rector of the Baltimore Basilica, joins the conversation to discuss the program’s growth, including a $2 million grant and interest from other dioceses hoping to replicate the model. Father Fitzgerald explains what makes Source of All Hope distinctive: it is rooted in a parish, making it a mission for the whole community.
