"Acting for Justice"
Why focus on Justice and
Catholic Social Teaching, you ask?
Four Reasons:
-
Our faith CALLS
us to work for justice; to serve those in need; to pursue peace;
and defend life, dignity and the rights of our sisters and
brothers.
-
The condition of billions of people in our world
today REQUIRES it.
-
Salvation DEMANDS
it.
-
Our actions make a
difference.
We'll explore ways Catholics can make a difference.
One simple step you and your family can take is to get GOF recycling
bags. Both parishes, St. Mary and St. John, will have their
names on the recycling bags. Carry them with you to show how
we're doing our part to reduce the amount of garbage.
Starting in September, we'll being taking...A-C-T-I-O-N!
