Father Boyle is the founder of Homeboys Inc. and is a well-known author and expert in social justice. The author of four best-selling books with a fifth book soon to be published, Father Boyle is also the recipient of several humanitarian awards including the California Peace Prize granted by the California Wellness Foundation, and the Lifetime Achievement Award from MALDEF.
Pope Francis insists that the credibility of the Church rests in the Gospel to the Marginalized, the invitation from Jesus to be courageous in living the gospel at the margins. Drawing on 30 years of working with gang members, joy, hope and the courage of tenderness will be the focus of Father Boyle’s presentation.
Invite your family and friends to join you for this fascinating discussion about faith and social justice.
