Zoom Prayer Service for Racial Justice
1:00pm-2:00pm
South Bend
Cost: Free
A Zoom Prayer Service for Racial Justice will be Sunday, July 12, at 1 p.m. Email [email protected] to receive a Zoom link to join St. Augustine members for this service. The obligation to acknowledge, learn about, and challenge racial injustice stems from the Christian belief in the dignity of all persons. We are called to care for our neighbor and, as the parable of the Good Samaritan demonstrates, our neighbor is not always the person who seems the most like us. The principle of solidarity teaches that we are all members of a single human family and we are meant to care for our brothers and sisters.
