Unemployment and Poverty Advocacy

"In our Catholic parishes, schools, charities, hospitals and other ministries, the poor, the underemployed and the unemployed are not issues, but people with names and faces. It is an essential part of our work as Catholics to build a more just society and economy."

~ Archbishop Timothy Dolan, "Letter to Bishops on Economic Situation," September 15, 2011
