January is Poverty Awareness Month. During this month, join the U.S. Bishops, the Catholic Campaign for Human Development, and the Catholic community in the United States in taking up Pope Francis' challenge to live in solidarity with the poor. Let us pray and reach out in our local and global communities to put faith in action to address poverty. You can also consider a donation to Catholic Relief Services, the official international humanitarian agency of the Catholic community in the United States. Thank you for whatever you can do to confront poverty. "I want a Church which is poor, and for the poor." -Pope Francis
