Catholic Charities - Social Concerns

Social Concerns encourages the Community to grow in a deeper understanding of Catholic Social Teaching by providing resources and strategies for effective action in parishes, schools, and surrounding communities.  Most importantly, it calls us to a deeper understanding of living out the Two Greatest Commandments: to love God with all your heart, soul, and mind, and to love your neighbor as yourself. 

"Seeing with the eyes of Christ, I can give to others much more than their outward necessities; I can give them the look of love which they crave."
Pope Benedict XVI, Encyclical Deus Caritas Est, 2005
