We are living in a time where racism, the erosion of trust in societal institutions, polarizing politics and issues of ‘othering’ are rapidly escalating. These threats leave us and our communities diminished. And they are counter to the call to foster belonging and the vocation of the Common Good.
How ought we respond in these times? What can we do to foster belonging and connection? How shall we live in order to usher in peace, reconciliation and justice together?
Please join us as we examine these challenges through the lens of Catholic Social Teaching and the call to foster belonging within and through Catholic institutions.
Tickets are available for each session individually. Conference links will be emailed to session registrants prior to each session date.
