JustFaith will begin on Thursday, September 15, 2011 (6:30 pm – 9:00 pm) through May 10, 2012 in the Holy Family Room. 

What is JustFaith?

JustFaith invites parishioners to experience a spiritual journey into compassion.  Most of us long to be a generous and compassionate people.  JustFaith, now offered in hundreds of parishes across the country, provides a lively and challenging format to read, view, discuss, pray, experience and be formed by the tradition of Catholic social teaching and the Biblical call to create a more just world.

Our Catholic faith and Biblical tradition extend an extraordinary invitation to each of us and to our faith communities to become agents of God’s compassion and healing in a wounded world. 

Participants are given the privilege of becoming community with other participants and sharing a journey of faith and compassion that changes lives, inspires faithful witness, and transforms the world through love and service. 

How is the JustFaith program structured?

JustFaith involves groups of about 10-15 people, who meet for 30 weekly sessions, two weekend retreats and four Saturday immersion experiences.  Overall, this adult formation process extends over 8 months and uses books, videos, guest speakers, discussion, prayer, retreats, immersion experiences, and community building. Testimonies of participants around the country attest to the personal transformation that happens to people who complete the program.

Does it cost anything to participate in JustFaith?

The books cost approximately $145/person and are paid in installments; no one has to pay the full book costs up front.  Used books are available if needed.
