Fair Trade Ministry

The Catholic Relief Services Fair Trade network guarantees fair wages to disadvantaged artisans, farmers and workers. It also provides the technical and financial assistance that poor people so desperately need but so rarely get in the conventional trading system. The Fair Trade Ministry at Light of the World helps support this mission by making important information and Fair Trade products available to members of the parish and the surrounding community. When you choose to buy fair trade products you are making a strong connection with hardworking but impoverished workers around the world. Fair Trade Coffee, Tea, and Chocolate are available for purchase at the St. Thomas Aquinas Food Pantry and after all of the Masses at Light of the World each Community Sunday.

Fair Trade Profits Put To Good Use

Thank you to the many parishioners who support our Fair Trade Ministry.  Not only do your purchases help third world farmers support their families, but with the proceeds from sales we recently made donations to: Catholic Relief Service Fair Trade Fund United With Migrants Respect Life Ministry – Gabriel House
