SOCIAL JUSTICE - FRANCISCAN ACTION & ADVOCACY

Faith Education

We encourage everyone to never stop growing in the faith and to be courageous in putting the faith into action on behalf of the good of all. As such, please consider taking part in the parish’s offerings of social justice faith education opportunities, and to take some time to learn all about Catholic Social Teaching.

“The Church’s social teaching is a rich treasure of wisdom about building a just society and living lives of holiness amidst the challenges of modern society.”– USCCB.

Below are various resources. Please check back throughout the year, as new opportunities are announced.

JustFaith Ministries

JustFaith Ministries provides programs that transform people and expand their commitment to social ministry. Through these life-changing opportunities, members of a church or parish can study, explore and experience Christ’s call to care for the poor and vulnerable in a lively, challenging, multifaceted process in the context of a small faith community.

Jack Jezreel, M.Div., the founder and Executive Director of JustFaith Ministries, introduced the original JustFaith program in 1989 while working in a parish in Louisville, Kentucky. It was immediately and dramatically successful. Since then, churches around the country have had similar results.

Over 30,000 people have participated in various JustFaith programs in over 1,500 churches across the country. JustFaith Ministries, in conjunction with its partners, makes available introductory workshops, curriculum, resources, a website, and support services.
