"Hopeful" is how more than one participant described feeling after Tuesday's listening event at St. Andrew Catholic where 37 people gathered to share stories on the pressures impacting our communities.

  Many of the stories shared—in both English and Spanish—centered around problems related to:

• Healthcare access
• Cost of living
• Feelings of isolation

The stories we've heard this listening season will inform the action we take together at our June 22 Delegate Assembly.
