JustFaith is a thirty-week justice formation process with a focus on poverty.  Meeting weekly, groups employ books, videos, lecture, discussion, prayer, retreats and hands-on experiences.  The intent is to provide a tapestry of learning opportunities that emphasize and enliven the remarkable justice tradition of the Church.

Participants are exposed to not only a substantive and demanding course of study but are also afforded the privilege of becoming community with other participants and sharing a journey of faith and compassion that is both life-giving and challenging.

The thirty week program typically begins in the fall and runs through to spring.

JustFaith can be, and typically is, facilitated by parishioners, which means it does not create added responsibilities for parish or church staff. The program can also be adapted for use in other settings including diocesan-sponsored programs, small faith communities, and college campuses.

“The call to bring justice to a broken world deserves a preparation that honors the complexity of the task.”

-  Jack Jezreel, Founder, JustFaith Ministries
