Living our Faith 

Call to Family, Community and Participation
Catholic social teaching inspires and guides how we are to live and work in the world. In this principle, Call to Family, Community and Participation, we remember that human beings are social by nature-we need each other. We, like the early disciples, are called to come together and grow as a community-whether that community is in our classroom, workplace or family.

Amen, I say to You, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me" 

Parish Social Ministry is rooted in faith!  It is Jesus who calls us to this task.  Social ministry is an expression of who we are and what we believe; it must be anchored in the Scripture and church teaching.  The Social Ministry of the parish begins in the gospel's call to conversion; to change our hearts and our lives; to follow in the path of charity, justice, and peace. (Communities of Salt and Light...)"  
“¡El Ministerio Social de la Parroquia tiene sus raíces en la fe! ”
Es Jesús quien nos llama a esta tarea. El ministerio social es una expresión de lo que somos y lo que creemos. Debe estar anclado en la Escritura y la enseñanza de la Iglesia. El Ministerio Social de la parroquia comienza en la llamada del evangelio a la conversión; para cambiar nuestros corazones y nuestras vidas; para seguir en el camino de la caridad, la justicia y la paz (Comunidades de Sal y Luz ...).

This Week in Social Ministry

“To be holy does not require being a bishop, a priest or a religious. We are frequently tempted to think that holiness is only for those who can withdraw from ordinary affairs to spend much time in prayer. That is not the case. We are all called to be holy by living our lives with love and by bearing witness in everything we do, wherever we find ourselves. Are you called to the consecrated life? Be holy by living out your commitment with joy. Are you married? Be holy by loving and caring for your husband or wife, as Christ does for the Church. Do you work for a living? Be holy by laboring with integrity and skill in the service of your brothers and sisters. Are you a parent or grandparent? Be holy by patiently teaching the little ones how to follow Jesus. Are you in a position of authority? Be holy by working for the common good and renouncing personal gain"
