World Day of the Poor – Sunday 15 November 2020
World Day of the Poor – Sunday 15 November 2020:
The Annual World Day of the Poor was instituted in 2016 by Pope Francis, at the end of the Year of Mercy. It invites Christians to see people who are poor not simply as recipients of charity, but as human beings who we have an on-going relationship with, and as people who have a particular insight into the Gospel.
It takes place this year on Sunday 15 November 2020.
