The website Catholic Culture is one of my favorite resources for seasonal activities for families; my wife also uses it for her CCD students. In gathering some Lenten materials, we came across these suggestions: Every Catholic should have a poor person, a poor child, or a poor family for whom he cares, whom he visits, talks to, comforts, and whom on occasion he gladdens with some special gift. Everyone can do this, even children and teenagers.
In suburban parishes there may exist little poverty. Priests will gladly obtain information from Negro and Spanish-speaking parishes about a family in need whom you may help with almsgiving. Or you may pick an Indian child to receive your help.
Umm....now, I'm not exactly the politically-correct inquisitorial type. But does it strike anyone besides me that Catholic Culture might want to think about updating their material a bit?
