Good Cheer Tonight: SERVICE AND FRIENDSHIP WITH THE POOR

Sant' Egidio is a Catholic-based society that seeks to bring prayer and justice to life. The community is represented around the world and usually based in large cities however Oxford is fortunate enough to have a community right here in town!

This week, in Munich (Germany), Sant' Egidio sponsored a 3-day conference for world peace. The conference concluded yesterday. Religious leaders were there as well as international representatives for global justice. Sant' Egidio has their own youtube page with clips from the event.
