"The Opus Foundation Prize finalists were announced on Monday, September 19 and Father Greg is a finalist. The Opus Prize is given annually to recognize unsung heroes of any faith tradition, anywhere in the world, solving today’s most persistent social problems. This $1 million faith-based humanitarian award and two $100,000 awards are collectively one of the world’s largest faith-based, humanitarian awards for social innovation. Opus Prize winners combine an entrepreneurial spirit with an abiding faith to combat seemingly intractable global issues like poverty, illiteracy, hunger, disease, and injustice. Opus Prize winners demonstrate that change is possible, empowering and inspiring all of us. The awards will be presented during ceremonies at this year’s host university, Loyola Marymount University, on Wednesday, November 2."
We've been aware of Jesuit Father Greg Boyle and his Homeboy and Homegirl Industries that put youth to work to help them move to a future that does not include gang membership. The reason we thought to post this though is because of HOMEBOY SALSA, which we tried and liked which is the latest venture for the cause.
We have seen this salsa for sale, and it needs a little marketing to compete in the market. So we're giving it that little bit. It's on sale at RALPHS throughout Southern California - it's fresh - and you'll be supporting a non-profit with a very worthy cause!
