Overview
Our Catholic faith
and Biblical tradition extend an extraordinary invitation to
each of us and our faith communities to become agents of God’s
compassion and healing in a wounded world. The Good News of
Christ is both a comfort and a promise for the poor and, at the
same time, a call to those of us who are not poor to be linked
with God’s vision of justice and reconciliation.
The Church’s
history shines with examples of courage and commitment of those
who addressed themselves to the needs of our most desperate
sisters and brothers and the
JustFaith provides a lively and
challenging format to read, view, discuss, pray, experience and
be formed by the faith tradition that changes lives, inspires
compassion, and transforms the world through love and service.
The Program
JustFaith is an educational experience, a formation process, and
a spiritual journey. Over the course of seven to eight months,
participants meet regularly in a small group of 8 to 10 persons for readings, videos, lectures,
discussion, prayer, retreats, and immersion experiences.
The
purpose is to provide a tapestry of learning opportunities that
emphasize and enliven the remarkable justice tradition of the
Church. Participants are not only exposed to a substantive and
demanding course of study, but also are afforded the privilege
of becoming a small faith community with other participants and
sharing a journey of faith and compassion that is both
life-giving and challenging.
The JustFaith formation process is highly
recommended for individuals who are, or wish to become, more
active in the church’s ministry of social justice and peace.
