USCCB: January is Poverty Awareness Month

During Poverty Awareness Month, the faithful are encouraged to join the Secretariat of Justice and Peace, the Catholic Campaign for Human Development, and the Catholic community in the United States in taking up Pope Leo's challenge to live in solidarity with the poor.

As the Holy Father said in his apostolic exhortation, Dilexi Te, we are called to address the injustice of poverty today: “The dignity of every human person must be respected today, not tomorrow, and the extreme poverty of all those to whom this dignity is denied should constantly weigh upon our consciences” (no. 92).
