A Message on Labor Day

English | Espanol

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

This Labor Day, we give thanks to God for the gift of work and for all those who labor each day to support their families, serve their communities, and contribute to the common good.

May God bless all workers with strength and dignity; may he comfort those who are unemployed, underemployed or struggling, and may he instill employers with compassion and respect for all for whom they are entrusted.

As we go about our daily work let us reflect the love of Christ in every interaction.  And so, my brothers and sisters, let us pray for each other, asking God to help us to be the most profound witnesses to all we encounter.

May God bless you and all who labor. 

Sincerely in Christ,
Most Reverend Daniel E. Garcia
