Looking for ways to GROW
your social justice ministry?
We’re here to help! Looking for opportunities for retreat days? Educational sessions on social justice? Advocacy? We are happy to discuss with you your parish’s needs and possibilities. We can consult with the pastor and staff, appropriate committee members, and/or the pastoral council. These conversations may result in a program(s) offered in the parish that meets the particular needs of your social ministry. We encourage parishes to develop their social ministry to include both charity and justice rooted and grounded in the spiritual growth and development of their members. We offer workshops, retreat days and educational sessions on a wide variety of social concerns topics for adults, young adults and youth.
