Workshops
These are examples of workshops the Social Justice and Advocacy Committee can offer your parish. We can also work with you to tailor a workshop to your specific needs. Host parishes are asked only to provide a space, advertising within the parish and light refreshments.
Charity with Justice workshop
A dynamic, engaging, and free workshop offered by the Social Justice and Advocacy Department, Charity with Justice looks at how we can embody the biblical principles of charity and justice in our lives today, how parishes can engage in justice alongside their charitable outreach, and how the Diocese can support your work. It involves audience participation and small group discussion.
