THIS IS US: FAMILY, RACE AND BELONGING WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY
February 27, 2018 @ 5:00 pm - 7:15 pm
“THIS IS US: FAMILY, RACE AND BELONGING WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY”: We begin with a simple meal together. We move to the Meeting Room to listen to people in our parish family and the community tell their stories of living in a society where issues of race are always a factor. Speakers will share their challenges and joys and will look for ways to increase racial healing.
