Year in Review: Addressing “Headline” Issues in Chicago
Tuesday, December 31, 2013
2013 was marked by many social ills that continue to plague the Chicago area, particularly those living in or near poverty. As we have every year since 1917, Catholic Charities has worked tirelessly address these ills, seeking better and better “antidotes.” Every time you read a headline or see a story on the news about issues plaguing our communities, Catholic Charities is in those neighborhoods working side by side with the community to improve the lives of those who live there. Monsignor Boland looks at three major problems that were in the news a lot this year: Violence, Homelessness and Food Deserts, and how Catholic Charities has responded.
