“The Queen of Kensington: Theresa Zuccarino’s Heartwarming Volunteer Work at St. Francis Inn”
Theresa Zuccarino, known as “The Queen of Kensington,” has been making a difference in the lives of those in need at St. Francis Inn in Philadelphia. Volunteering four days a week at this Franciscan ministry, Zuccarino greets guests with a warm smile and hands out meal tickets to anyone in need of a good meal.
Her dedication to serving others has earned her the title of “Queen of Kensington,” a term of endearment given to her by Father Michael Duffy, OFM, who leads the ministry at St. Francis Inn. Zuccarino’s caring nature and genuine love for the people she serves have made her a beloved figure in the community.
Having a lifelong devotion to St. Francis of Assisi, Zuccarino has always felt a calling to help those less fortunate. From her work in social services to her passion for animal rescue, she has always been drawn to caring for others in need.
After moving to a senior living community named after her favorite saint, St. Francis Villa, Zuccarino felt compelled to get involved in her local neighborhood. She began volunteering at St. Francis Inn, serving meals and forming connections with the guests she served.
Her volunteer work at St. Francis Inn has not only impacted the lives of those she serves but has also given her a new sense of purpose and fulfillment. Through her gentle spirit and warm smile, Zuccarino has become a beacon of hope and compassion in the Kensington community.
As she continues to touch the lives of those around her, Zuccarino’s dedication to serving others serves as an inspiration to us all. Her selfless acts of kindness remind us of the power of compassion and the difference one person can make in the lives of others.
