"[Jim] LaJoie also shared that the impact of his involvement with The U.P. Catholic on his faith life has been "significant." "It’s humbled me," he explained, "because it’s made me draw attention to the amount of strife, worldwide issues, the amount of hurting that permeates our society. And when I get the opportunity to share that, it grounds me in a way – it makes me realize that at the end of the day I have a roof over my head, I have food to eat, I have my health and my family. It brings life into perspective.""
