The Catholic church dedicates Jan. 1 to the promotion of word peace. Francis said there was `'hunger and thirst for justice, peace and God" in the world.In his first year as pope, Francis has charted a path for what he calls a `'poor" church attentive to the needy and a `'joyous" one reaching out to others.
