The intention of this workshop is to establish a safe space, inviting us to open our hearts, in order to create a new awareness and understanding of how to become conscious allies to our Black sisters and brothers within the faith communities.

We will address the need for justice and reparations within our own parishes, raising awareness and understanding that will contribute to the larger public discussion now underway.
