Service & Justice
Charity is the highest virtue that we are called to live as Catholics: “so faith, hope, love remain, these three; but the greatest of these is love (1 For 13:13).” We must ask God to grant us the gift of charity; He often increases this theological virtue in us through our service to others. Our ministry is blessed to be able to offer opportunities to serve those in need. We can witness to our faith in Jesus Christ through sharing His love, especially with those who are poor and vulnerable in our midst.
“At the end of life we will not be judged by how many diplomas we have received, how much money we have made, how many great things we have done. We will be judged by “I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat, I was naked and you clothed me. I was homeless, and you took me in.” // St. Mother Teresa
