“Since early March, the virus has made clearer what we already knew: that our health care, employment, housing and voting systems are unjust, and that the working class, the poor, people of color and immigrants suffer disproportionately. As people of faith, we must insist that our elected officials prioritize not only short-term relief for people who have been hardest hit by the coronavirus, but also deep systemic change that will address inequities that have long been at the heart of our economy and our politics.”
Our World, Our Future: Young People Responding to Urgent Needs
Our World, Our Future is designed to help organize youth groups, individual young people, and others to support outreach efforts according to their abilities and interests, all while maintaining recommended physical distancing protocols.
The Office of Youth Ministry has developed an online catalog of service opportunities across the diocese, categorized in four broad areas: ministries of feeding and gifting; ministries of companioning; ministries of fundraising; and ministries of advocacy. Young people can participate as a church youth group, as a deanery or cluster collaboration, as individuals, as sibling teams—the important thing is to participate!
