Faith & Poverty:A Biblical Response
Coming January 2023!
Grounded in Catholic social teaching, Faith and Poverty: A Biblical Response guides participants in exploring the Gospel’s call to respond to poverty in our communities, nation and world, and equips participants with practical tools to take action in effective and sustainable ways.
This first eight-session program, Faith & Poverty: A Biblical Response, lays the theological foundation for responding to poverty in our communities, so that we might engage in action in a way that honors the image of God in those we seek to serve.
JustFaith is a national program based on Catholic social teaching that will help you deepen your faith, experience a greater sense of purpose, and better understand how God is calling you to love and serve others. JustFaith groups are offered in various locations throughout the Des Moines Diocese.
In this program centered on Catholic social teaching, participants explore these two questions:
- What tools does my faith have to offer regarding huge questions around poverty and injustice?
- In light of poverty and other forms of human suffering, what is the Good News of the Gospel?
In addition to the readings, group members engage in prayer and reflection around Catholic Social Teaching during and between sessions. Participants emerge from this program with a transformed understanding of who they are as God’s child and how God is calling them to use their lives.Go to The Center for Social Ministry for more information on JustFaith and other programs offered in the Des Moines area.
