St. Francis of Assisi Parish in conjunction with St. Peter's is running a new program, called JustFaith, which is sponsored by the Catholic Campaign for Human Development, Catholic Charities and Catholic Relief Services. JustFaith is a conversion-based process that seeks to integrate personal spirituality and social ministry. The aim of JustFaith is to empower participants to develop a passion and thirst for justice and to express this passion in concrete acts of parish social ministry. In parishes across the country, JustFaith is a tool that has proven over and over again to be an effective strategy for training and forming parishioners to be agents of social transformation. JustFaith involves a commitment. Participants are expected to attend 30 weekly sessions, two retreats, and four hands-on experiences. Participants also are expected to do about 2 hours of reading each week. Sessions include videos, guest speakers, discussion, prayer and community building exercises. This program asks a lot, just like the Gospel! But, many Catholics have found it to be a deeply rewarding experience. For more information, click here http://www.catholiccharitiesusa.org/justfaith/.
