Homelessness, Poverty, and Catholic Discipleship

Christians are called to help the poor, but yet there are still so many people in need. On December 2, as we begin our Advent season, we will gather to learn about homelessness and poverty in our community, and discuss what discipleship means in our world today.

What does our Catholic tradition teach us about our responsibility? How can our Church family help end this crisis for so many people in our own community, and how can we aid the victims of homelessness and poverty around us? Come with your own questions and help build the “culture of solidarity” to which Pope Francis has called us!
