Minister at Rochester parish stresses welcoming, outreach

From Catholic Courier (www.catholiccourier.com)

She spent more than a year working with the impoverished in inner-city Philadelphia and now performs urban ministry at a Rochester parish.

Jessica Tette has chosen workplaces surrounded by poverty, violence, addiction and despair. Yet by embracing the challenges of the city, Tette is living out her understanding of Catholic social teaching.

"That (teaching) means, to me, reaching out to people on the margins and including them," said Tette, 32, who is director of faith formation and communications at Rochester’s St. Monica Parish. "Our faith calls us to go where there is need and walk with people."
