“You made me feel human today”
God has called Jean Fedigan to serve at Sister José Women’s Center in the Diocese of Tucson, Arizona. The center, which Fedigan founded in 2009 while still serving as Chief Nursing Officer at University of Arizona Healthcare Hospital, is dedicated to the care of homeless and trafficked women living on the streets of Tucson.
More than just providing shelter from the desert sun, or giving access to showers, laundry, meals, and clothing, the center has a deeper mission on behalf of these vulnerable women. The center seeks to ensure that these women feel loved, respected, and assured of their human dignity.
Fedigan serves people of all religions, cultures, and walks of life. Her compassion is freely offered to all without judgement, because she sees the face of Christ in all whom she meets. Many of guests have simply told her, ‘You made me feel human today.’
Congratulations, Jean Fedigan, Lumen Christi Award Nominee!
