There are endless opportunities to help the needy and build a just society within our parish and beyond. However, it is crucial that we take the time to study our situation, focus our efforts and create goals based on reality.

We are all called to make the world a better place to live, to protect and enhance the lives of our brothers and sisters. The Bishops’ challenge us by saying: “This task belongs to every believer and every parish. It cannot be assigned to a few or simply delegated to diocesan or national structures. The pursuit of justice and peace is an essential part of what makes a parish Catholic”.
