A Place at the Table for All
A Catholic Commitment to Overcome Poverty and to Respect the Dignity of All God's Children
A Pastoral Reflection of the Catholic Bishops of the United States

Pastors, religious educators, teachers, youth ministers, and social justice coordinators will want to pray, reflect, and take action on the causes of poverty in this pastoral reflection from the U.S. bishops. United around the table of mission, we are members of the one human family. We are called to gather families, community organizations and religious/faith-based institutions, the private sector, and the government around the table to address the causes and responses to poverty. Take a look at the challenges facing so many people today to provide the most basic needs-to have a place to live, enough to eat, and clean water and air.
