For three days and two nights in March, they set aside comforts, carrying only a backpack with toiletries, medicine and a sleeping bag. They slept outdoors and made cardboard signs to beg for money to buy food. This "street retreat" with the homeless is a rite of passage as part of the Diocese of Austin’s diaconate formation program.
