A Catholic Community Responds to Human Trafficking

Welcome to our presentation on developing a Catholic community response to the issue of Human Trafficking.

Our workshop today is designed to help you create a template for action for your Catholic communities to prepare not only for large events which exploit thousands of captive people, but to create a foundation of action everyday to drive this “plague” from our cities.

The take away from our workshop is to create a template for you and your communities.  We will be outlining the solutions presented in our workshop on this Google Doc.

Devote your work to Humanity

Inspired from visiting the Martin Luther King Memorial in Washington, D.C. Mitty students felt moved reading the brilliant words of King in Washington.

“Make a career of humanity, commit yourself to the noble struggle for equal rights. You will make a greater person of yourself, a greater nation of your country, and a finer world to live in.” [King Memorial]
