How do Human Rights shape a Just Society?

Every person has the right to education (Article 26 - Universal Declaration of Human Rights, 1948), but not everyone gets it. In fact, some congregations that support school breakfast programs know all too well that children going to school without breakfast can fall behind their peers because of their inability to maintain attention and focus.

Reflection of the Week - 12th December 2023

We are now entering Advent, the season that begins the Church’s year, and it reminds us that our hope is not in ourselves but in God coming to us.

Reflection of the Week - 21st November 2023

The crossing of the Red Sea is an event of tremendous drama. Older generations might remember Charlton Heston in the famous scene in the movie The Ten Commandments (1956), in which the water literally forms walls in the sea on either side of the fleeing Israelites.

Reflection of the Week - 14th November 2023
