Welcome!

Faith and Poverty: A Biblical Response (part of the JustFaith Catholic series) explores God’s call to respond to poverty in our local communities, equipping participants to take action in effective and sustainable ways. In this program, participants explore these two questions: 1. What tools does my Catholic faith have to offer regarding huge questions around poverty and injustice, and 2. In light of poverty and other forms of human suffering, what is the Good News of the Gospel? Participants will emerge from this program with a transformed understanding of who they are as God’s child and how God is calling them to use their lives. We will be offering Faith and Poverty: A Biblical Response at St. Luke Church beginning on January 31^st.
