Catholic Social Justice Teaching Research Paper

Catholic social justice teachings is the heart of the catholic teachings. Inside the heart is love, love is the reason that everyone is thought the Catholic Social Justice teachings. I have chosen to do my interview with Mrs. Dona at St. Theresa Catholic school, she does the backpack buddies for kids who don't have food to eat over the weekend. She helps kids whose parents don't have enough money to feed them. She packs fruits and vegetables to help them have something to eat. This is located at St. Theresa Catholic school. It happens at the end of the week, every week. The agency was started by Mrs.castellino but, when she got too busy Mrs.Dana took it over.

Theresa is so diverse and makes us different and
excepting. So many kids are poor and go hungry. Over 21% of kids live in a house where the income is below the federal poverty line. The state has done research and said that you need to make twice that much to pay for basic expenses. One in five children live in poverty in the united states. That is double the rate of poor people in the age range of 18-64. The poverty level in the united states is among the worst in the developed countries. These numbers are so sad there is no reason that so many kids should be going hungry. Mrs.Dona helps all of the kids at school if they are hungry.
