Bishop Kinney's new Pastoral Letter: As I Have Done for You...So You Also Should Do

In 1998, Bishop Kinney wrote a Pastoral Letter on Catholic social teaching, As I Have Done for You... He writes, "Since that time, many changes have occurred; however, Catholic social teaching never changes. In light of the many societal and diocesan developments over the past 12 years, I think it is important to revisit this pastoral message."

The new Pastoral Letters are available in English and Spanish to order by calling the Office of Social Concerns at 320-229-6020 or by ordering online.

Pastoral Letter on Social Justice - "As I have done for you"

Introduction

Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry and gave you food, or thirsty and gave you something to drink? And when was it that we saw you a stranger and welcomed you, or naked and gave you clothing? And when was it that we saw you sick or in prison and visited you?' And the king will answer them, 'Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.' (Mt. 25:37-40)
