Becoming a Community of Salt & Light

Since 1993, the U.S. bishops' statement, Communities of Salt and Light: Reflections on the Social Mission of Parish, has served as a guiding document for parish social ministry in the United States. This website of the USCCB Department of Justice, Peace and Human Development uses this document as a lens through which to explore contemporary social ministry today and offers resources, best practices, and other materials to aid social ministry in a variety of settings.
