Serving Christ and Connecting Catholics in Western North Carolina

Parker 24A beggar on the street corner is not a new sight for most of us. We might look away, pity them or even say a prayer for them. Deep inside, though, aren’t we all just a little bit like beggars ourselves? Don’t we all beg throughout our everyday lives? Whether it be in prayer or just in the unceasing chaos of our own endless thoughts, each day we constantly ask God for things.

Every Lent, the Church invites us to return to the Lord. We fast, we pray, we share our gifts. But this year, 40 young Latino Catholics are also doing something simple and deeply transformative: They are telling their stories on how God is working in their lives.
