As a follow up to their Food Fast experience this year, we are challenging Catholic youth to make a promise to live simply, live sustainably and live in solidarity with the poor.
Youth are asked to choose one simple commitment to expand on their Food Fast experience and to invite others to join them. An example of a simple commitment is choosing only to purchase chocolate that is fairly traded.
Please submit your livesimply promises to be posted throughout the year.
The recent skyrocketing cost of food staples around the world is making national and international headlines. The world food crisis is prompting economists, agronomists, finance ministers and heads of state to come up with immediate and long-term solutions so that more widespread price increases are averted and increasing discontent is mitigated.
Read about how the growing food crisis is affecting the people of Egypt, Haiti and Burkina Faso. And visit Catholic Relief Services’ website for the latest news on how CRS is responding to the global food crisis.
Let's build solidarity through prayer. Pray with youth groups who are holding a Food Fast this month. Make sure your group is listed.
