Racial Healing and the Catholic Church
Friday, June 11 | 2:00-3:30 pm EST

Organized by the #Onebody group, a grassroots organization that is dedicated to “racial healing, one heart, one mind at a time”.

Discussion on critical current topics of race in society will be addressed in the context of the unspoken racism in the church.
