Celebrating Success
In our state of gratitude and thanksgiving, let’s celebrate our successes and the ways in which we have been instruments of peace, transformation, hope and healing.
Change, Not Chains Campaign: It is time for global change – time for a global economy that works for all. It is time to once and for all break the chains of international debt to fight poverty and injustice.
In support of the Jubilee Act to reduce and eliminate international debt, the Wheaton Franciscans signed 112 postcards which will be sent to our congressional representatives. We also raised nearly $125.00 in change to support Jubilee USA Network and their endeavors.
Stand Up, Take Action, End Poverty
More than 173,000 people worldwide gathered at events to stand up and take the pledge to end global poverty. Counted among that number were the 48 who stood at Our Lady of the Angels chapel in Wheaton, and 10 who stood in the chapel at our Generalate in Rome. Visit their website to read more about the events that took place worldwide.
