JusticeWalking for Youth

JusticeWalking (J-Walking) is a 3-to 6-month “prophet-raising” process that forms small communities of adults and older teens who experiment with living the Gospel message and the implications of Catholic social teaching. Key to this process are the relationships created within each J-Walking community and those they encounter at the margins of our society.

Through prayer, retreats, reading, dialogue, and encounters, J-Walkers broaden their circle of awareness and expose their lives to the compassionate spirit of Gospel justice.

Through prayer, retreats, reading, dialogue, and encounters, J-Walkers broaden their circle of awareness and expose their lives to the compassionate spirit of Gospel justice.

J-Walking includes twelve biweekly sessions, contemplative dialogue on the signs of our times, daylong opening and closing retreats, a weekend justice-immersion pilgrimage, monthly meetings located at a community service agency, maintaining a prayer journal, reading and reflecting on two books together, public presentations, and practicing six lifestyle adjustments that apply Gospel teachings to life choices.
