Project Unity
|
WHAT IS IT?
Project Unity is a Diocesan effort, through the office of Catholic Charities, to build bridges between the city, the suburbs, the rural and metro areas and beyond our borders. The purpose of Project Unity is to connect people from different backgrounds, cultures, races, and life experiences for the mutual benefit of all involved. The hope is not only to offer the gift of our resources but also the gift of ourselves; to build human relationships and to know ourselves as sisters and brothers. This program provides an opportunity for people of faith to build bridges of understanding and compassion
WHO SHOULD BECOME INVOLVED?
Any faith based group of people that is concerned about the divisions that exist among us as a human family and is willing to make a commitment to help heal these divisions.
