Global Solidarity

“The obligation to earn one's bread presumes the right to do so. A society that denies this right cannot be justified, nor can it attain social peace.”

Pope John Paul II

Global Solidarity Ministry collaborates with Catholic Relief Services and other organizations to provide support and assistance to our brothers and sisters around the world.

Community of Sant'Egidio
The Community of Sant'Egidio is a movement of lay people dedicated to evangelisation and charity, in Rome, Italy and in more than 73 countries throughout the world. The different communities, spread throughout the world, share the same spirituality and principles which characterise the way of Sant'Egidio: prayer, spread of the Gospel, solidarity with the poor, ecumenism, & dialogue.
