Keep the Dream Alive
Honoring the Memory of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
January 16, 2012 | Washington, DC | St. Aloysius Church
Catholic Charities USA and Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Washington are co-sponsoring a Mass and Awards Ceremony on Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day to keep his dream alive and honor national figures who work to reduce poverty and promote racial justice.
This year, Catholic Charities USA is proud to recognize Kevin Concannon, Under-Secretary for Food, Nutrition and Consumer Services; Janet Valente Pape, former executive director of Catholic Charities Wichita; and Mayor Anthony Williams, former mayor of Washington DC. Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Washington will also honor Andrea Roane, 9 News Now Anchor, with the 2012 Faith Does Justice Award.
Mass will start at 10am at St. Aloysius Church on the 900 Block of North Capitol Street, NW in Washington, DC.
RSVP today!
Following the Mass and reception, attendees are invited to volunteer at Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Washington’s women’s homeless shelter. Volunteers will work one-on-one with women who reside at the Harriet Tubman Shelter on an art project. Space for the volunteer experience is limited to the first 50 registrants.
We ask that all who wish to attend the Mass and/or volunteer opportunity please register online or contact Tina Baldera, 703.236.6228.
