@Jeandioslc I posted some resources from my talk on Jean's original post. At Mass tonight, this was one of the Prayers of the Faithful: "For the healing of racism & prejudice, that all people may look at one another as sisters & brothers & work for the betterment of all." Amen! #SASI19
Jean has been such an amazing local leader for us this #sasi19! And thank you again to both @BishopSolis and @ABJohnCWester for fearlessly empowering us as leaders for social mission!
Archbishop Wester of Santa Fe @ASFOfficial addresses #SASI19 on immigrants: "One of the key things for me from Pope Francis is the 'globalization of indifference'... These are the world's homeless, forced to flee their homes in order to survive." @EndPovertyUSA @WeAreSaltLight
As we close #sasi19, we are so grateful to our new friends here at the @UUtah! From the summer conference staff, the facilities staff, the kitchen/catering staff, cleaning staff and event planning staff, they have been available and so helpful! #sasi19#GoUtes
In our sending liturgy, @ABJohnCWester reminded us that our work for the social mission of the Church is both already and not yet. We are grateful, fed by the Eucharist, called to encounter and to serve all the People of God. #sasi19
More from Abp. Wester @ASFOfficial at #SASI19 describing the works of the church in which "I truly find hope"--hospitality for immigrants, educating Catholics, MRS advocacy, organizing through CCHD. "We needs to build bridges not walls," in vision of Francis. @EndPovertyUSA
Thank you @ABJohnCWester who traveled back to his “home away from home” here in SLC. Thank you for your stories from @ASFOfficial and for inviting us to be emotionally moved by the experiences of our immigrants in our community. #sasi19
Thank you @RauhJill from @USCCB with help from CCHD intern Cynthia from @ASFOfficial and Rebecca from @archdpdx for leading us in our morning prayer centering the experiences of migrants, refugees and Dreamers in our local and global families. Óyenos, Señor. #sasi19@togoforth
It might be the last day, but we’re still here building community and learning with one another! Breakfast and coffee in hand, these eager #sasi19 participants are ready for the day!
Thank you @BishopSolis, @Diocese_of_SLC, and #sasi19 for inviting CMN to show death penalty documentary Lindy Lou, Juror #2. Truly grateful for the space made to discuss how we are called to build a culture of life by ending the death penalty. #HopeOverDeath#EndTheDeathPenalty
