Leaders at Our Lady of Pompeii are learning and growing! Over the past few weeks, twenty-five parishioners from a variety of parish ministries have participated in our program, Parishes in Action. The program is designed to develop new social ministry efforts, or to assist already active social ministry committees in the integration of their social mission into the life of the whole parish.
The group from Our Lady of Pompeii in East Haven started with the basics, reviewing the 7 key themes of Catholic Social Teaching and the difference between charity and social justice. They explored the Pastoral Circle as a means to understanding and acting on injustices.
During the last session, they worked to create a social justice vision for their parish. We are excited to see how they will integrate this new knowledge into the life of the parish and into their work for justice in the future.
