Capuchin Day Centre for Homeless People
Over 40 years ago, Brother Kevin Crowley founded the Capuchin Day Centre for Homeless People in Bow Street, Dublin. From its very humble beginnings in the Friary garden it now provides over 700 meals each day and over 1500 food parcels each Wednesday to the homeless and poor of Dublin. In addition to this the Centre provides a medical service (doctor, dentist, chiropodist and nurse), counselling and shower facilities.
Sadly, Br Kevin Crowley died on the 2nd of July 2025. He is remembered through the great work of the Centre. Today that work continues under the leadership of Br Kevin Kiernan OFM Cap (Capuchin Director) and CEO, Mr. Brian Friel. They are supported by the Capuchin Friars who serve on the Board of Directors as well as the entire Day Centre Team of dedicated staff and volunteers.
