"Living the Gospel Challenge:
Solidarity and Community"
presented by
Terry and Vicki Vicars
Terry and Vicki have both worked in the Diocese of Youngstown in a variety of capacities for over 34 years. No matter what parish or agency they have served through, the focus of their work has always been building the Kingdom of God with ALL of our brothers and sisters, particularly those on the margins who are often not included. For the past 24 years, Terry has worked at Catholic Charities Regional Agency as a case manager for those who are experiencing homelessness. After 30 years in parish ministry, Vicki has two positions. She works as Lead Community Organizer for ACTION, Inc, a faith-based community organizing collaborative. She was also just hired as the Director of Mission, Equity and Resilience for the Ursuline Sisters Mission. Parents of two adult children, foster parents to a gifted 53 year old young man, and grandparents to five incredible kids, the Vicars have discovered that the principle of solidarity is a gift that guides them in their family life, their daily work and in their interaction with many diverse and beautiful communities.
