Voices of Persons Living in Poverty
Tuesday, September 13, 2016 ( 6:30 - 8:00)
The "Voices" series at Assisi Heights Spirituality Center is an effort to search and support a variety of justice issues by educating ourselves while embracing these stories. By hearing the voices of three families living in poverty, we hope to establish communication and connection among peoples with diverse issues and beliefs and to bring together those who walk a similar path. By raising awareness of poverty in the midst of Rochester and the greater Olmsted County area, we can empower ourselves and others to search for compassionate solutions.
Lead by Monica Bogucki, Mary Vlazney, Sister Ruth Snyder and Mary Kivi.
