St. John Neumann Catholic Church Stands Up En Español
St. John Neumann’s Catholic Church in Reston, VA took a stand against poverty this past Sunday – in two different languages!
Hundreds of parishioners read the Stand Up Pledge after the morning Mass in English and then en español after the Spanish Mass in the afternoon. This bilingual action reflects the diversity of people coming together as one in the fight against poverty in this country and around the world. Erin Tunney and Damian Gullo coordinated the events at St. John Neumann’s to stand with millions of people worldwide who are committed to realizing the Millennium Development Goals.
