Although you may

family in a crowded shelter or walk-up apartment
in the New York City Metropolitan area, you can
help to make it possible for a LAMP Missionary
to do so. |

When our Holy
Father, Pope John Paul II, visited North
America in January 1999, he exhorted all
Catholics to "have the courage to bear
witness to the Gospel in the streets and
squares". The vision of LAMP, founded in
and by the love of Christ Jesus, impels LAMP
Ministers to literally reach out to the poor
on the streets; to those who need to know
the Lord has not forgotten them, and that
the local Catholic parish wants to be of
service to them. Pictured here are a number
of the LAMP Ministers reaching out on the
streets where they serve. |
