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.
