Since the introduction of welfare reform legislation in America more than 10 years ago, Catholic Charities has endeavored to be a voice for the people we serve by preparing a yearly paper on issues such as housing, the working poor and hunger. In releasing the 2007 paper: "Honor Your Father and Mother: The Devastating Effects of Poverty on Seniors," Catholic Charities calls further attention to the issues of aging and poverty and the moral outrage they represent. The paper was released at Catholic Charities' 90th Annual Board Meeting held in October.
