Our MissionThe Catholic Church’s preferential love for the poor is part of her constant tradition. From the gospels to the saints, unceasing search to be in service of our less fortunate brothers and sisters are essential to the life of the disciple. Thus, we ought to strive to be a beacon of hope and compassion for the poor and marginalized in our communities. Through proper discernment we encourage our young adults to live out the Gospel’s call to love and serve our neighbors, especially those in most need.El amor preferencial de la Iglesia Católica por los pobres forma parte de su tradición constante. Desde los Evangelios hasta los santos, la búsqueda incesante de servir a nuestros hermanos y hermanas menos afortunados es esencial para la vida del discípulo. Por lo tanto, debemos esforzarnos por ser un faro de esperanza y compasión para los pobres y marginados de nuestras comunidades. Mediante un discernimiento adecuado, animamos a nuestros jóvenes adultos a vivir el llamado del Evangelio a amar y servir a nuestro prójimo, especialmente a los más necesitados.

A society that wishes and intends to remain at the service of the human being at every level is a society that has the common good - the good of all people and of the whole person [347] - as its primary goal. The human person cannot find fulfilment in himself, that is, apart from the fact that he exists "with" others and "for" others. This truth does not simply require that he live with others at various levels of social life, but that he seek unceasingly - in actual practice and not merely at the level of ideas - the good, that is, the meaning and truth, found in existing forms of social life.
— Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Catholic Church, paragraph 165
Una sociedad que, en todos sus niveles, quiere positivamente estar al servicio del ser humano es aquella que se propone como meta prioritaria el bien común, en cuanto bien de todos los hombres y de todo el hombre. La persona no puede encontrar realización sólo en sí misma, es decir, prescindir de su ser « con » y « para » los demás. Esta verdad le impone no una simple convivencia en los diversos niveles de la vida social y relacional, sino también la búsqueda incesante, de manera práctica y no sólo ideal, del bien, es decir, del sentido y de la verdad que se encuentran en las formas de vida social existentes.
— Compendio de la Doctrina Social de la Iglesia, párrafo 165
