Six Chicagoans in their 20s and 30s joined last year's cohort. And this year @CTAcatholics is starting TWO cohorts!

Apply by Feb. 19 for a cohort for local projects and/or a cohort of people of color! Or share with ministries or young adults you know. https://t.co/6LVW7CdQ2M

@NewWaysMinistry aptly quotes @NCRonline on what our 2nd Catholic president must tackle:

Sins and crises that "will continue to have disproportionate and devastating impacts on the LGBTQ community, most especially Black and Latinx transgender women."

[Dignity/Chicago @DignityChicago]

We must change systems in Dignity that support racism and white privilege.

We hope to do a training for anyone interested. We also plan to host a book club. Follow us to hear more!

#reflection on this Sunday's #readings by a @DignityDC member:

"In the Scriptures, God’s call is always first and foremost an invitation to relationship, which is to say, intimacy and vulnerability."
