Even a few dollars can make a huge difference for someone in poverty. -Have karaoke (or another group activity) at your next party and collect a donation for each song. -Donate basic resources, such as gently used clothing (especially men’s shoes and pants) or collect items from friends, family or coworkers.

The first was a priest at the vocations expo during World Youth Day. He was at the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops' vocations office booth collecting memories of passersby's favorite priests. The second was an Australian correspondent for Inside the Vatican, a monthly Catholic news magazine. He saw that my name tag identified me as being with the Phoenix Diocese and immediately praised Bishop Olmsted's "Catholics in the Public Square" booklet. He said the Church needs more bishops like Bishop Olmsted.
