President George W. Bush praises Covenant House
President Bush made the following reference to Covenant House and Sister Mary Rose at yesterday's White House Conference on Missing, Exploited, and Runaway Children:
"There are as many as 100,000 runaway children every year. And these children are vulnerable; they're vulnerable to exploitation. There are some great programs in America, people who are soldiers in the armies of compassion -- one of which is the Covenant House. We're honored today to have Sister Mary Rose McGeady here. She runs the Covenant House. And if you don't know anything about the Covenant House and if you're interested in helping, support the Covenant House, or programs like the Covenant House, because these people help those on the street, those young, vulnerable children on the street, to realize there is love in our society and there is hope for a better way."
Covenant House President, Sister Mary Rose, delivered a speech at White House in early October.
