| Social Concerns Committee Projects |
“The work for social justice is a work of faith. Our faith calls us to bring the healing
hand of Christ to those in need, the courageous voice of the prophet to those in power, and the gospel
message of love, justice and peace to a suffering world.” (from the Diocesan Education & Training Center
for Social Justice)
We, the current members of the St. Barnabas and Our Lady of Guadalupe Social Concerns Commission, would
like to invite anyone interested in knowing more about what our Commission does and become more involved
to attend one of the upcoming Social Concerns meetings. Just sit in and see what we do – no obligation
necessary!
The mission of the Commission is to help increase the parish awareness of social issues. It provides
opportunities for parishioners to voice opinions and respond to the ongoing human needs of the members
of our parish community and beyond. We could use your ideas and thoughts on what are important topics
and issues close to people’s hearts in our cluster.
The Commission meets on the third Monday of every month at 7:30 p.m. in Rectory Room 2. Our next meeting
is THIS Monday, February 15, and you are invited to attend.
If you have questions about the Commission,
please contact Josette Snyder at (330) 467-4054 or Fr. Bob at the Rectory. St. Barnabas Social Concerns
Commission The Catholic Campaign for Immigration Reform |
Did you know?
The Catholic Church believes that current immigration laws and policies have often led to the undermining
of immigrants’ human dignity and kept families apart? The existing immigration system has resulted
in a growing number of persons who are in an unauthorized capacity in our country, living in the shadows
as they toil in jobs that would otherwise go unfilled. To learn more, visit
