Join us for the Faith in Action Open House Wednesday, Jan 25 from 7-8:30pm in the Health Ministry Room. Spring into the new year to make new friends and grow in your faith. Come to learn about the small faith community that focuses on Catholic social teaching. We learn about social issues and conduct service projects, using the literature of the USCCB and Pope Francis for guidance. Enjoy refreshments, meet FIA members, and gain an introduction to Catholic social teaching, known as the best kept secret of the Catholic Church.

A prayer, from the Season of Creation 2022 Celebration Guide:
Loving God, who hears every voice, knows each cry of injustice, and is attentive to the suffering of the earth: teach us to listen. Bring healing to our lives, that we may protect the world and not prey on it, that we may listen to the world you have created and not close ourselves off from it. Reveal to us the ways in which we have failed to hear your voice in how we treat the earth.
Below are some resources that can help you listen and learn about Creation.

Are you discerning how to live out your faith? Join our small faith community as we explore Catholic social teaching in a spirit of fellowship and compassion. Wherever you think the Lord is leading you, you can learn about issues of today and locate organizations that share your interest. We grow through meetings of learning and dialogue as well as border crossing activities where we depart from our comfort zones and actively engage with the community.
