Without voluntary work the common good and society cannot last long because their progress and dignity is largely dependent on people who do more than just their duty.” (Pope Benedict XVI, 2010).

The Holy Father said to Austrian volunteers last year, “Volunteers are not just there to patch up holes in the social fabric,” they help to form “the human and Christian face of society.” Let’s nurture a culture of volunteerism in T&T/the world. CCSJ’s July Newsletter highlights examples of people in our Archdiocese who engage in a variety of charitable activities.
