Crime-Fighting Dominican Featured on Al Jazeera America

Last week, Al Jazeera America’s “America Tonight” ran a feature on Fr. Gregory Maturi, O.P., and his efforts to help clean up the neighborhood around St. Dominic’s Church in Youngstown, Ohio. The news clip is available here. The story particularly covers Fr. Gregory’s efforts to eliminate the abandoned houses that once peppered the streets surrounding the church, providing havens for criminal activity.
