Introduction
The
United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), in its publication,
Go and Make Disciples, presented a helpful strategy for Catholics
in the workplace. In their document, they encouraged:
-
workshops on evangelization in the workplace;
- support groups for professionals;
- retreats on the value of work and the ethical/justice issues
associated with employment; and renewal days organized by and for
lay people. The Catholic Business Directory Network, hosted by St. Rose of
Lima, encourages all Catholic owners and/or operators of businesses
in the Chula Vista and South Bay area to participate in this apostolic
dream to know Christ and make Christ known in the workplace. Our Vision
The Catholic Business Directory Network (CBDN), a faith-based network,
is dedicated to providing resources that will benefit the relationship
between businesses and the parish community. The CBDN will be
dedicated to spiritual growth, community involvement, and business
development.
