'The Soloist -A Lost Dream, an Unlikely Friendship, and the Redemptive Power of Music'
by Steve Lopez
Lopez is a natural storyteller, giving us a close-up view of the improbable intersection of musicianship, schizophrenia, homelessness and dignity. The result is a surprisingly lively page-turner, propelled by the close friendship developing between these two men… Daniel Levitin, Washington Post

Labor from the Pulpit
September 6, 2009
On the Sunday before Labor Day, speakers are available from the Interfaith Council of Religion, Race, and Economic & Social Justice to speak at parishes about the dignity of work and the rights of workers. This year, the Interfaith Council will emphasize the need for people of faith to stand with hotel workers in their struggle for justice. To invite a labor or union leader to speak at your parish or for questions, contact Rev. Rebecca Kuiken at 408-269-7872 or by email at rebecca@atwork.org. A packet of materials on Catholic social teaching on the rights of workers is available online on the Social Ministries webpage for the Diocese of San Jose. These materials were also distributed in May 2009 to pastors and Parish Social Justice Liaisons.
