Throwback to New York City in 1979, when #MotherTeresa visited #DorothyDay at the Mary House mission home. The two women dedicated their lives to the service of others and were closely connected to CRS and its mission to serve the poor. Standing out of frame is Eileen Egan. #TBT
Meet Glendy Fernández de Valle of El Salvador. Her grandmother used to make traditional #cacao. In 2017, her husband joined a CRS project, which helped the family start their own #chocolate business. They named it Tetonalli, which means “a new beginning.” #WorldChocolateDay

"Racist acts are sinful because they violate justice. They reveal a failure to acknowledge the human dignity of the persons offended, to recognize them as the neighbors Christ calls us to love (Mt 22:39)." Open Wide Our Hearts 63. Learn more: https://t.co/iSzKSb3CbD.
We are committing @CatholicRelief to open ourselves to new solutions that contribute to the realization of a more just world. As @Pontifex said, we can't turn a blind eye to racism and yet claim to defend the sacredness of every human life. #GeorgeFloyd

No podemos tolerar ni cerrar los ojos ante cualquier tipo de racismo o de exclusión. Al mismo tiempo, hemos de reconocer que la violencia es autodestructiva y autolesionista. Con la violencia no se gana nada. Oremos por la reconciliación y la paz.
We cannot tolerate or turn a blind eye to racism and exclusion in any form. At the same time, we have to recognize that violence is self-destructive and self-defeating. Nothing is gained by violence and so much is lost. Let us pray for reconciliation and peace.
So many of us want to help when it comes to #COVID19. Listen to this story of how a #refugee decided to give back, using the skills she learned in a CRS training program, which was funded by @StatePRM@USEmbassyMNE.
