Most of us have a very limited understanding of what it means to be a member of the “poverty class” in the U.S. or how to interact with someone from poverty in a positive, effective way. Consideration of poverty in Catholic social teaching begins with the foundation that each person is both sacred and social, created in God’s image, and destined to share in the goods of the earth as part of a community of justice and mercy.
We invite you to join St Joseph parishioners in a wonderful program entitled
Bridges Out of Poverty. This Zoom format workshop will provide life-changing perspective and insight into:
Causes of poverty
How economic class affects us
The hidden rules of economic class
Identifying and building resources
How access to resources affects families
Tools for building relationships of mutual respect
We will offer two workshop options of three 2-hour sessions per workshop. Please sign up online for either Workshop Series #1 or Workshop Series #2. Class size is limited. Please only sign up if you are available to attend
all three sessions of the workshop. Sorry, no mix-and-match between the two workshops.
Workshop #2: April 13, 20 and 27 | 7:00 p.m. – 9 p.m.
