We
are excited to reconvene the Catholic Social Ministry Gathering after having
taken a one-year hiatus to support the Convocation of Catholic Leaders: The Joy
of the Gospel in America in July 2017. CSMG 2018 will highlight the inspiring
work of Catholic leaders from around the country and explore the opportunities
to respond to Pope Francis’ call to go out to the peripheries as missionary
disciples and promote love and unity that leads to thriving neighborhoods and
communities. Join more than 500 diverse
leaders at the 2018 Catholic Social Ministry Gathering as we gather to pray,
learn, connect, and take concrete actions to love God and our neighbor. “The
earth is our common home and all of us are brothers and sisters. If indeed 'the
just ordering of society and of the state is a central responsibility of
politics', the Church 'cannot and must not remain on the sidelines in the fight
for justice.' All Christians, their pastors included, are called to show
concern for the building of a better world."
