Subscribe http://bit.ly/inasociete March 23, 1999 The Emmaus charitable community, founded by Abbé Pierre in Neuilly-Plaisance in 1949, celebrates its 50th anniversary. Abbé Pierre, then a member of parliament, who lived in a dilapidated house in Neuilly-Plaisance, near Paris, invited a former convict to help himself by sorting discarded objects. This man would become the first "companion" of the secular movement, which now numbers 4,000 in France, as well as 5,000 volunteers working in 110 communities. Abbé Pierre discusses Emmaus' work with Claude Serillon on the JA2 8 PM radio show.
