Global Solidarity Partnership

Editor's Note: Here are the stories, editorials and columns we have published on the topic of the Global Solidarity Partnership between the Anchorage Archdiocese and the Cotabato Archdiocese of the Philippines. The partnership was signed into being in 2003, when Archbishop Roger Schwietz traveled to the Filipino archdiocese with a group of Alaskan Catholics for an introductory visit to the region. This collection of archived materials includes as background some general commentary about the Catholic principle of solidarity. Please send comments or questions to us at the Catholic Anchor (catholicanchor@gci.net).
