You’d need to meet with us, have the protocol completed, be updated on making the best of visitation and be aware of ongoing support. A gathering for this purpose will take place on Tuesday, October 28th at 10:00 a.m at Holy Redeemer Cathedral, lower level to coordinate our team effort.

FEAST DAY OF ST MARTIN DE PORRES: November 3rd: Martin spent his life doing as Jesus taught - caring for the sick, the poor and the slaves in Peru. His life provides us wiht an example of social justice. Catholic Social Teaching - rooted both in the Hebrew prophets who announced God’s special love for the poor as
well as in the life and teachings of Jesus Christ - helps us understand who we are and how we are
called to live in community with one another. The Church’s social doctrines touch upon seven core themes: life and dignity of the human person; call to family; community and participation; rights responsibilities; option for the poor and vulnerable ; the dignity of work and the rights of workers; solidarity and care for God’s creation. There’s a
good video on YouTube called The Seven Themes of Catholic Social Teaching that explains each
theme.
