EVENTS & MEETINGS

Nov 18, 7:30 p.m.: We are co-sponsors for an event organized by SOMA Action's Religious Justice Committee. Scholar, educator, and social justice advocate Dr. Khyati Joshi will be presenting on the "origins of Christianity's often unseen social power and the entwinement of Christianity and Whiteness in American identity. How might America become a "more perfect union" - a truly pluralistic democracy?" The event is free and open to all: register here!

THE FOUR PILLARS THIS GROUP IS BUILT UPON
  • Justice
  • Solidarity
  • Liberation
  • Love
    with Jesus Christ being the Cornerstone.

​This group is open to all who seek a better understanding of Catholic Social teaching regarding racial, economic, and gender justice and who wish to practice that teaching in works of transformative justice in our community and beyond. St. Joseph’s two most well-known titles are “the Worker” and “the Just”. The first one refers to his profession as a carpenter; St. Joseph the Worker is celebrated on May 1st to coincide with International Labor Day, thus honoring the dignity of work. The second title is celebrated on March 19th, and commemorates his just and righteous disposition. Drawing inspiration from St. Joseph, this group will be dedicated to learning and working for justice in our unjust world in the context of Catholic Social teaching, Theology, and History.

There will be a specific focus on racial, economic, and gender justice. If interested in joining, contact: Axel and Kim Oaks Takacs.
