Dear Friends:
Through the hard work of Tom Shellabarger of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops' Department of Justice, Peace & Human Development, and leaders in the Catholic Labor Network, I want to invite you to the annual Catholic Labor Network Gathering (see page 8 of the Social Ministry Gathering Booklet). The Gathering is part of the USCCB's Social Ministry Gathering, and will begin with Mass at 8:00 a.m. on February 6, 2010, and conclude that afternoon at 2:30 p.m. It will be held at the Hyatt Regency on Capital Hill . Rooms begin at $204.00 per night, and reservations are made through Capital Services, Inc. at 1-877-247-0449 or csmg@usccb.com.

Theologians, scholars, clergy, trade union activists, and Catholic health care leaders will participate in panels on the experience of union organizing and bargaining in Catholic hospitals, the USCCB document “A Fair and Just Workplace: Principles and Practices for Catholic Health Care,” and Pope Benedict XVI’s new encyclical “Caritas in Veritate.”
