The Meaning of Labor Day

Bishop Tobin of Providence, RI has written a brief reflection on "The Catholic Meaning of Labor Day."  Click here to access the reflection.  Here is an excerpt:

"Labor Day is primarily a civil holiday and social event, but it also has religious significance, at least in Catholic circles. The Church uses the occasion to reaffirm its teaching about the dignity and value of workers and the work they do. We recall that work is not an end in itself, but rather a sharing in God’s work of creation and redemption."

Happy Labor Day!
