Hi all! I hope everyone is staying safe, healthy and sane!
While our formal RCIA classes maybe done, the living has just begun! The RCIA team and I want to continue our conversations and seeing you!
We will be taking turns hosting a discussion every other Wednesday on the Catholic Faith and how to go out and live it as the Gospels call us to do. I will be hosting our first meeting on Wednesday, June 24 from 6:30-8pm. We will be discussing the webinar from Dr. Vicki Lott on Economic and Interracial Justice and how to begin educating ourselves and living through the works of the Gospels and Catholic Social Teaching.
Before our first meeting, please watch the webinar below. It is just under an hour, but is a good webinar. I will send out some questions to think on and discuss for Wednesday on a later date. I look forward to discussing this with you!

Dr. Vicki Lott, member of the Pax Christi Anti-Racism Team and the National Council, leads a webinar on “Economic & Interracial Justice.” Dr. Lott discusses the intersection of economic and racial justice by looking at how the United States became wealthy as a direct result of racism. Furthermore, she illustrates how the U.S. has continued this racist legacy through policy and deep denial and then delves into the hope the Gospel and Catholic Social Teaching offers to overcome the deep division and hatred that racism has created.
