An insightful virtual formation series focused on issues of racial reconciliation and the calling of the Church and our diocese to strive for justice and peace among all people. The series was born of the work and study of the diocesan Racial Justice and Reconciliation Task Force and diocesan staff. We have worked together to create a series of guided interviews with authors and speakers from across the Church that will prompt group discussions and, hopefully, ministry in our congregations and action in our communities.
Several people from our parish have participated - or watched the videos - and highly recommend the series.
