Priest wants to help inner city poor
Page 14
When Father George Mealy heard reports Edmonton's inner city Natives were living in Third World conditions, he didn't condemn the government for neglect.
Instead, the 63-year-old Anglican Catholic Priest decided he'd like to try to line up public support to battle poverty in Alberta' capital city.
Mealy, who has been sharing space at St. Peter's Lutheran church in the inner city since November, has some experience with the poverty-stricken population, but admits he needs to get more involved to be more effective.
