How can we invite ourselves and those around us into deeper compassion? What can we do to ensure dignity for those on the margins of our society? How can we foster community in and across our various social worlds? These questions and more will animate this interactive retreat as we explore the challenges and graces humanity faces today through the lens of Catholicism’s social justice teachings. Participants will walk away more strongly connecting compassion and justice as well as better equipped to make these manifest in their world.
