Social Action is a religion class, which puts our religious education to work. It is a response to help those in need in whatever ways possible. So- cial Action sponsers our annual Eas- ter and Thanksgiving food drives. This year to help world hunger, the class members went on a thirty day fast. Every year the Social Action members go to Tijuana to work with the impovershed people living at Los Ninos. With food donated by cus- tomers at markets, nutrition was pro- vided to the hungry. At an orphan- age they showed their love simply by holding a baby. In April they went on the Amigo Marathon , walking 250 miles for ten days from Santa Barbara to Tijuana, in June they will go on a similar walk called the Tor- tilla Marathon . At Arsel Arms or the halfway house in San Pedro for those suffering from emotional and menial problems resulting in their incapability to cope with society, so- cial events are held. Blood drives are sponsored with the help of the Red Cross. Working with the Catholic Workers Soup Kitchen, food is served to the unfortunate people on skid row in L.A. in support of life, the Social Action members picketed an abortion clinic. Setting up and giving services needed, members help the handicapped in the STpecial Olympics. Brother Bob is the head of this class and it surely is an enthusi- astic club. 1.
