The study explores in depth three aspects of the lives and circumstances of three families living in poverty on the outskirts of Buenos Aires. First it explores the dimensions that define socio-urban marginalization. Second, how faith is nurtured and expressed in popular religious practice and empowers and gives hope to the poorest. Third delves into the nature of support given by the Church to those most excluded from society. The relevance of Popular Theology´s approach stands out as to the implications for religious life when embedded in places of high marginalization
