As we approach the World Day of the Poor on Sunday, November 17, we are reminded of this year’s theme: "The prayer of the poor rises up to God" (Sirach 21:5). This day, established by Pope Francis in 2017, calls us to reflect on how poverty is woven into the heart of the Gospel message. At the Napa Institute Summer Conference 2023, a powerful panel discussed the role of charity and serving the poor through the Corporal Works of Mercy. The conversations underscored that our faith is not just about prayer but also about action—responding to the cries of the poor with compassion and concrete support.

This past weekend, Debbie Gonot, Mark Duffy, Fr. Dave Caron, OP, Jorge Morales-Nazario, Fr. F, and Sue Keusch joined the St. Joan of Arc Catholic Church community. Through their dedication and teamwork, they surpassed their ambitious goal — packing over 80,000 meals to feed the hungry!

Last month, we introduced you to Sylvia and her family. Now, we’re excited to share more from our visit, where we saw Sylvia and her sister receive their first Box of Joy gifts — unpacking treasures, cuddling stuffed animals and simply being kids. Play and imagination are important to a child’s well-being, and we saw just how impactful it can be firsthand. While Box of Joy doesn’t replace the essential food and aid these families need, it brings an incredible amount of hope and joy to the kids who receive them — and their communities. This is why we do what we do. https://lnkd.in/g7HHvkqT #CatholicChurch #HumanitarianRelief #NonprofitImpact

"It is a call to take action, to mobilize all our resources in combating trafficking and restoring full dignity to those who have been its victims. If we close our eyes and ears, if we do nothing, we will be guilty of complicity." – Pope Francis Though we protect her identity, we know Jenna’s* story — a journey of courage, resilience and hope. After being removed from her home by child protective services, Jenna found safety and healing at our ministry partner’s shelter.
