TRIANGLE, Va. — St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church in Triangle, Va. will host its annual Fair Trade Global Bazaar after all of the Masses on the weekend of December 7-8, 2013.
There will be olive oil, chocolate, jams, coffee and tea, clothing and jewelry, ornaments and handcrafts from around the world, items from their sister parish in Peru, and much more for purchase. In addition, through Catholic Relief Services, they will also offer the option of purchasing gifts that feed the poor, encourage self-sufficiency, build a better society, and promote health around the world.
Everyone is invited to this after-Mass event. The Masses are on Saturday at 5:30 p.m. and on Sunday at 7:30 a.m., 9:00 a.m., 10:30 a.m., noon, 1:30 p.m. (Spanish) and 5:30 p.m. The parish is located at 18825 Fuller Heights Road, Triangle, Va. 22172.
“Our global bazaar enables everybody not to only feel good about what they’ve purchased, but to do some good,” said Fr. Kevin Downey, O.F.M., pastor of St. Francis of Assisi Parish. “And the support of fair trade doesn’t have to end here, because we hope to inspire everyone to purchase and encourage the sale of fair trade products all year long at local stores, as well as through online sites and organizations.”
In partnership with Catholic Relief Services (www.crs.org), their partner, SERRV (www.serrv.org), and Larry’s Beans (www.larrysbeans.com), among others, the event will also offer educational and awareness campaigns related to fair trade and labor issues, which stress the importance of a fair wage, opportunities for advancement, equal employment opportunities, environmentally sustainable practices, public accountability, long-term trade relationships, healthy and safe working conditions, and more.
The event is sponsored by the parish’s GreenFaith Green Team.
St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church is part of the Diocese of Arlington and was established in 1957. For more information, contact the parish office at 703-221-4044.
