Holy Family's Just Faith Ministry invites you to join a conversation on how we as people of faith can respond to the racial disparity and white privilege that has long plagued our country. We will view a 30-minute video interview with Fr. Bryan Massingale, Professor of Theology at Fordham University and author of "Racial Justice and the Catholic Church" followed by a conversation.
This program will be offered online via the Zoom platform. Please register for this program through Zoom. After registering, you will be sent a confirmation email with a private link to use for joining our conversation on July 14.
We will start the meeting by viewing this 25-minute video together. We hope you will join us for this important conversation.
Just Faith Ministries was birthed in the effort to invite and prepare people of faith for the life-changing and world-changing call of the Gospel to help heal the world and, in so doing, experience a deeper faith, a more fulfilling life, and a community of care and vitality.” – Jack Jezreel, Founder
Formed in January 2015, the JustFaith group at Holy Family started with 15 individuals on a 27-week journey of study and discussion based on the JustFaith Ministries nationwide program, which is designed to gain an understanding of the root causes of many of our broken social systems in the US and abroad. Topics included poverty, racism, immigration and refugees, homelessness and more.
Since completing the program, the group has opened its arms to the broader faith community at Holy Family and volunteers in areas of poverty, racism, immigration, women’s mental health and prison reform. In addition to a variety of volunteer opportunities, the JustFaith group also hosts a variety of events throughout the year to raise public awareness about these issues.
We continue to welcome members of the Holy Family Faith Community to become involved in our Just Faith efforts in any manner they feel called. Please contact Charley Herbert or Karen Herbert for more information.
