ShareNetwork is the national infrastructure that enables local communities and parishes to operate their own systems of food, care, and participation - much like the early missions once did, but without centralized control.
It does not run local programs.
It does not distribute food or money.
It does not replace parishes or ministries.
Instead, ShareNetwork provides:
- shared standards rooted in Catholic Social Doctrine
- coordination tools that support local action
- transparency systems that build public trust
- education and guidance for local leaders
This allows independent local Share Nodes to function as modern participation hubs - serving their communities with dignity, responsibility, and resilience.
This is not charity as consumption.
If you are able, you participate.
