Hunger USA
Hunger here in the richest nation in the world? Impossible, one might think. But the U.S. Conference of Mayors’ annual Hunger and Homelessness Survey makes it clear that hunger and food insecurity (not always having access to enough food to meet basic needs) not only exist, but are on the rise. The increase is reflected in the fact that the two dozen cities surveyed found that requests for ...

Part 4: How to Be a Dynamic and Evangelizing Parish
Two very different parishes show what it takes to be both energetic and spiritual.
6th Sun [C] 2010
On January 6, 2002 the Boston Globe published its first account of Cardinal Bernard Law’s cover-up of the abuse of young boys on at the hands of Catholic priests in the Archdiocese of Boston, thus beginning years of similar accounts telling of shattered trust in the Catholic Church and the hopeless state of many victims of pedophiliac priests.
