Catholic Charities workshop on JustFaith: April 22, 2007

The Call to Transform Our Hearts and the World

Catholic Charities of Santa Clara County
invites you to a Sunday workshop introducing

JustFaith

a program that empowers people

to develop a passion and thirst for God’s justice

presented by Jack Jezreel

Executive Director of JustFaith Ministries

Rooted in Hebrew and Christian scripture, and our experience in the world, the Catholic church has articulated principles of justice and just living that are summed up in these words: common good, shared rights and responsibilities, value of human dignity, solidarity, respect for creation, grassroots wisdom and energy, and the call to stand with the poor. These principles invite us to some remarkable possibilities in the name of love and compassion. The vision speaks to life-giving choices on behalf of a world that struggles to survive. Don’t miss this opportunity to explore some new possibilities for your life, your community, your heart!

Comments from previous participants: "I loved this workshop. It was both inspirational and challenging." "Extremely dynamic presentation." "Very motivating talk, inspiring, spiritual and practical." "Excellent presentation, rooted in scripture.” "This workshop is better than excellent."
