Please join the Family of Four Parishes and our Racial Justice and Healing Committee as we dive into Dr. Conor Kelly’s book “Racism and Structural Sin: Confronting Injustice with the Eyes of Faith.” It is a wonderful resource for Catholics, in which he explains why, if we are truly Catholics believing that we are all created in God’s image, we need to be committed to racial justice. We are forming two groups beginning June 19, one on Monday mornings at 8:30 am and one on Thursday evenings at 7:00 pm. If you are interested in learning more, please contact our Director of Human Concerns, Sarah Haus, at shaus@ffpmke.org or 414-271-6577 x106.
