DeoQuest and TweetignwithGOD

 

For small businesses

August 2022

The Pope's prayer intention (August 2022)

We pray for small and medium sized businesses; in the midst of economic and social crisis, may they find ways to continue operating, and serving their communities.

How does my work serve the community?

Have you ever thought about the role played by small local businesses? They are accessible, offer custom answers, know your situation when you return with a complaint… By helping them, you also support local families. Prioritising the local economy contributes to the dignity of workers. You may have many questions about this: the Tweeting with GOD app can help you find answers.
