Father “Dollar Bill” Celebrates Easter Again…


Passing out one dollar bills to the homeless on Easter is Father Maurice Chase’s way of celebrating this Christian holiday.

I’ve commented before on his $15,000 give-away. (Last December.) So I don’t think I need to keep harping on this.

Here’s the article:

(CBS) LOS ANGELES A priest known as “Father Dollar Bill” plans to give out $15,000 in one dollar bills to the poor and homeless on Los Angeles’ Skid Row for Easter Sunday.

Father Maurice Chase, a Los Angeles Catholic priest and Skid Row activist, will give away the money at the Salvation Army Mission at Fifth and Stanford Streets starting at 10 a.m. Sunday.

The Easter gifts will be given to the poor and homeless. Larger amounts will be given to mothers with children, and the poorest and neediest will get one hundred dollar bills.

The Skid Row ministry is financially supported by Mrs. Bob Hope, Mrs. Frank Sinatra, Bob Newhart, Eli Broad, Mrs. Henry Mancini, Georgia Frontiere, Vin Scully and many others.
