C'mon Back to the Catholic Church

We can move away from the Church for many reasons. Visit Fr. Pat Umberger's page to learn some ways to help heal the difficulties of the past and help you move on in wonderful ways. God has continued to love you despite anything that has been part of the past. Sometimes we simply yearn to hear the words, "C'mon back!"

Social Justice Opportunities PDF Print E-mail
Tuesday, 17 February 2009 14:44

As part of St. Joseph Parish Social Justice Ministry, we will offer several opportunities to learn more about Social Catholic Teaching. We hope that many of you will take the time to attend as we enter into the Lenten Season.

~“Because justice makes demands upon all people to practice social responsibility, it is impossible to ignore its call to work through larger institutions... The Church has begun to look at underlying causes that create injustice”. (excerpts taken from Living Justice by Thomas Massaro, S.J.)~
