“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favour.”  (Luke 4:18-19)

As baptized Christians in the Catholic Church, we believe that our membership in the Body of Christ is defined by how we treat each other.
 Catholic's overwhelmingly understand that helping the poor… the outcast, the marginalized, those without sufficient food and care… is central to our Christian living. Jesus’ parables and miracles call us to this building up of God’s kingdom where all will have enough.
