“I believe there is only one race – the human race.”
-Rosa Parks
We are one human family, whatever our national, racial, ethnic, economic and ideological differences. We are our brothers’ and sisters’ keepers, wherever they may be. Loving our neighbor has global dimensions in a shrinking world. At the core of the virtue of solidarity is the pursuit of justice and peace. The Gospel calls us to be peacemakers. Our love for all our sisters and brothers demands that we promote peace in a world surrounded by violence and conflict.
At Catholic Community Services, our mission is to work for the common good and to serve our neighbors who are the poorest and most vulnerable. Our vision is for children, families and adults to have the knowledge, ability and desire to take control of their own lives and live responsibly with others together in a just society.
