Description
Text transcribed from caption: C-29744 ‘HOODLUM PRIEST’ DIES ST. LOUIS, Mo. -- Father Charles Dismas Clark, S.J., known as the “Hoodlum priest” for his work in rehabilitating former prison inmates, died in St. Louis after a long illness. He was 62. In 1959 he founded Dismas House here as a haven for ex-convicts. He is shown here before the institution named for the “good thief” crucified beside Christ. Father Clark also was responsible for setting up several other such centers in U.S. cities. His life story was the subject of a motion picture two years ago -- “The Hoodlum Priest.” Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (RNS-8C-63-RB)
