The Diocesan Charity of Rožňava launched a new day station in Kokava nad Rimavicou, Slovakia, on November 9. The facility, blessed by Bishop Stanislav Stolárik, will begin operations in January to support 14 seniors and individuals with disabilities. According to PR manager Lucia Černáková, four staff members will provide professional care, meals, and activities during weekdays. The project received funding from the EU Recovery Plan via the Slovak Ministry of Labour. Director Emília Revajová Bujňáková stated the service aims to maintain users' health and help them overcome limitations while they return home at night.
Niccolini, a Catholic entrepreneur and CEO of Hotel Shield in the United States, is using technology to identify victims of human trafficking in hotels. Motivated by his faith and a 2022 seminar, he developed a system that analyzes employee reports and guest complaints. The platform compares facial data with databases of missing children and sex offenders where legal. In a 2025 test across five New Orleans motels, the system flagged approximately 30 suspicious cases in ten days. Niccolini urges Catholics to act against exploitation. The company has now expanded its operations to roughly 250 hotels, aiming to stop abuse before it begins and aid recovery for victims.
