Happy Labor Day!
2018-09-02 - 2018-09-03
“If one wishes to define more clearly the ethical meaning of work, it is this truth that one must particularly keep in mind. Work is a good thing for man-a good thing for his humanity-because through work man not only transforms nature, adapting it to his own needs, but he also achieves fulfillment as a human being and indeed, in a sense, becomes “more a human being”.”
Pope Saint John Paul II
Laborem Exercens
