Jesus commands us to "Love one another." Our parish communities should be filled with visible signs of this love.
The U.S. Bishops articulate the importance of this work in their 1993 document, "Communities of Salt and Light".
Effective social ministry helps the parish not only do more, but be more, more of a reflection of the gospel, more of a worshiping and evangelizing people, more of a faithful community. It is an essential part of parish life. |
