The Path to Solidarity

“Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me” (Mt. 25:40; cf. 25:45).

The awareness of communion with Christ and with our brothers and sisters, for its part the fruit of conversion, leads to the service of our neighbors in all their meeds, material and spiritual, since the face of Christ shines forth in every human being.

John Paul II (The Church in America. Chapter V, page 89)

Every year the partnership sponsors mission exchange delegations for Venezuelans and Minnesotans. The cultural and faith-sharing experiences have touched the lives of many persons. The partnership has fostered a deep bond of faith and friendship between the people of Maracay and St. Cloud, and has given them a stronger sense of the global dimensions of their faith and their oneness in Christ.
