St. Charles Borromeo Parish, in the Diocese of Arlington, is a community of people with various cultural backgrounds united as a family of faith empowered by Christ. We call on all to offer their unique gifts in building the Reign of God's love, as we proclaim the word of God, celebrate the Sacraments, and promote education, hospitality, justice and service.
From the mission of our parish, having everyone involved in justice and service is central to who we are. The Social Justice Committee of St. Charles in conjunction with the Director of Social Justice work to engage the parishioners of St. Charles in the social justice and support the functioning of the existing ministries.
St. Charles uses the framework for social justice from the U.S. Bishops' Statement, Communities of Salt and Light: Reflections on the Social Mission of the Parish.

Global Solidarity is part of the Catholic social teachings: "it calls us to overcome barrier of race,
religion, ethnicity, gender, economic status, and nationality. We are one in Christ Jesus (cf. Gal 3:28) -
beyond our differences and boundaries. Parishes need to be bridge-builders, reminding us that we are part of a
Universal Church with ties of faith and humanity to sisters and brothers all over the world..."
(U.S. Bishops' Statement: Communities of Salt and Light: Reflections on the Social Mission of the Parish).
St. Charles supports international human relief and development projects.

| Then the king will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father. Inherit
the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, a stranger and you welcomed me, naked and you clothed me, ill and you cared for me, in prison and you visited me.' Then the righteous will answer him and say, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? When did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? When did we see you ill or in prison, and visit you?' And the king will say to them in reply, 'Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me.' - Matthew 25:34-40 |
