Course Introduction

The Gospel calls each of us to love and serve the poor personally, but how can your parish make a difference in your community?

Ministering to people in need can be challenging. From respecting human dignity to creating programs or solutions that genuinely make a difference, many parishes (and Catholics) struggle to find a starting place. This course aims to give your leaders and volunteers a solid foundation to confidently and simply love and serve our brothers and sisters in need throughout your community.

In his course, Fr. Mark-Mary guides viewers through a challenging topic by grounding his teaching in scripture, tradition, and the beautiful teachings of the Church. While sometimes controversial, Fr. Mark-Mary explains the universal call for every parish to establish practical ways to love and serve the poor well…and the impact it will have on your parishioners.
