Call to Family, Community, and Participation

We are all called to Family, Community, and Participation. We are all called to be living in a great family and to be part of a great community. We are all to participate with each other in our community. There are many ways we can participate in our families and our communities. We can participate in our communities by volunteering in our community, helping one another, and also by donating to the poor. We can participate in our families by helping our bothers and sisters, which are our neighbors.
There are many examples of people who follow this. There is one main person that I want to talk about, and her name is Sister Thea Bowman. Sister Thea Bowman was a Methodist until she was nine and then she became a catholic. Sister Thea Bowman shared the message of God's love through teaching. Sister Thea Bowman became a teacher and was gifted with a brilliant mind. Sister Thea Bowman was a great example of catholic social teaching because she participated in her community. She was also part of her family, her family was her school, and her students were her brothers and sisters. Sister Thea bowman is a great example on catholic social teaching.
