HAVE FAITH. END HUNGER. 2012 Offering of Letters
All Saints is a member-church in Bread for the World, a Christian citizens’ movement, which lobbies our nation’s decision makers for public policies that serve the needs of hungry and poor people in the U. S. and worldwide. Each year, Bread for the World conducts an Offering of Letters campaign, inviting members to communicate with their congressional representatives about a specific issue or piece of legislation.
On the weekend of March 24-25, All Saints participated in the 2012 Offering of Letters. Entitled “,” this Offering of Letters is an opportunity for citizens of faith to urge Congress to press forward with reforms to U. S. foreign assistance. The goal of the reforms is to make our assistance more effective in reducing hunger by addressing the causes of hunger in the world’s poorest countries. While both parties in Congress have taken the first steps in this reform, the passage of legislation will be a challenge. Our legislators need our encouragement. There will be information about Bread for the World, the issues at hand and how we can contact our elected officials. You are invited to stop by after Mass and check it out. You can make a difference.
