Labor Day 2006

A packet of materials will be available in August for Labor Day on September 3. These materials will highlight Catholic social teaching on the dignity of work and the rights of workers.

The materials will include sample homilies by diocesan clergy, prayers, a suggested 2-3 minute talk by a layperson or labor representative along with relevant excerpts from Catholic social teaching. Also included will be options for guest speakers representing hotel workers.

We hope that every parish will make use of these materials and take advantage of this opportunity to honor workers and their contributions.
