Upcoming Event: JustFaith Series at Little Flower
Do you want to address racism in your community, but you don’t know where to begin? Presented through the lens of the Christian tradition, JustFaith Ministries’ Faith & Racial Equity: Exploring Power & Privilege is a ten-week program that awakens individuals and groups to racial injustices within our systems and structures that empower some and oppress others.
We will meet by Zoom on Tuesday evenings, 6:30-8:30, March 16-May 18. We will explore three books, but the program is much more than a book study. It includes prayer, a virtual immersion experience, a guest speaker, videos, spiritual practices, and discussion. The program’s overriding purpose is to discover what the study compels us to do.
For more information, watch the three compelling short videos below: Racial Justice Series Video; What Is Your Place in the World?; JustFaith Vision
The program is sponsored by the Social Justice Commission and will be lead by three members. The cost is $40, covering the books. If needed, scholarships will be available. To register or to ask questions, contact the parish office (272-7070) and leave your contact information. One of the three facilitators will get back to you.

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. Modern Catholic social teaching has been articulated through a tradition of papal, conciliar, and episcopal documents. The depth and richness of this tradition can be understood best through a direct reading of these documents. In these brief reflections, we highlight several of the key themes that are at the heart of our Catholic social tradition.
