CRS and USCCB add Advent material
to their Catholic Campaign Against Global Poverty
"In a world where nearly half of our sisters and brothers live in poverty, our Catholic faith calls us to protect human life and dignity," says the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) and Catholic Relief Services (CRS) in an invitation to Catholics throughout the U.S. to join in a Catholic Campaign Against Global Poverty.

The campaign advocates U.S. policies that foster economic and social development for people living in poverty throughout the world, and this month offers new material for both individual and parish-based study of the problem of global poverty.
