Fighting to rebuild communities – that’s the tag line that accompanies this University of Notre Dame / Catholic relief Services brief infomercial that recently appeared during a nationally televised college football game.

Sometimes we look around at our jobs and we are fighting such small turf wars… when we need to be fighting to rebuild community, not just youth group, fighting for families, not just within our own, fighting for the Word of God to be present in the World and in our own distracted lives – and not just in the handful that show up at our next meeting night.
