Gene DiGirolamo, Sts. Joachim & Anne, Humanae Vitae, Human Trafficking....

The week ahead,
  • Rep. Gene DiGirolamo's "How the Catholic Church might change to bring people back" (7/26/16)
  • World Day against Trafficking in Persons [July 30] "Human trafficking is a crime that exploits women, children and men for numerous purposes including forced labour and sex. The International Labour Organization estimates that 21 million people are victims of forced labour globally. This estimate also includes victims of human trafficking for labour and sexual exploitation. While it is not known how many of these victims were trafficked, the estimate implies that currently, there are millions of trafficking in persons victims in the world.  Every country in the world is affected by human trafficking, whether as a country of origin, transit or destination for victims. Slavery, in both its ancient and modern forms, is not only shameful, it is as the abolitionist John Wesley said 'the execrable sum of all villanies,' and has no place in our world....In 2013, the General Assembly held a high-level meeting to appraise the Global Plan of Action. Member States also adopted resolution A/RES/68/192 and designated July 30 as the World Day against Trafficking in Persons" (United Nations) 
  •  Advocating for the sanctity of human life and marriage/family, in the week ahead.... (7/24/16)
