St.Odilia Social Justice
In the St. Odilia Parish Mission Statement we commit ourselves to welcome “every person to grow in holiness and draw closer to Jesus Christ through...Works of Charity and Justice every day and at every stage of life.”
“You have been told, O mortal, what is good, and what the LORD requires of you: Only to do justice and to love goodness, and to walk humbly with your God” (Micah 6:8)
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,because he has anointed me to bring glad tidings to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go free” (Luke 4:18
