Bringing Salt and Light to the Parish: The Gift of our Catholic Social Teaching

Fr. Kevin E. McKenna
"I prefer a Church which is bruised, hurting and dirty because it has been out on the streets, rather than a Church which is unhealthy from being confined and from clinging to its own security.," Pope Francis wrote in his apostolic exhortation The Joy of the Gospel.
