Ação Pastoral

Ação Pastoral, or Pastoral Action, refers to the activities and initiatives undertaken within religious communities—especially in the Catholic Church—to support spiritual growth, social justice, and community service. It encompasses various outreach efforts, such as education, charity, and advocacy, aimed at addressing the needs of individuals and groups, particularly the marginalized. Pastoral Action emphasizes compassion, moral guidance, and the integration of faith into everyday life, fostering a sense of community and promoting positive social change. Ultimately, it seeks to embody and spread the core values of the faith through active engagement in the world.
