“Sojourns for Justice” are lectures and reflective excursions into an array of social issues – from war to homosexuality to economic justice to racism. These sessions will feature an in-depth discussion of the issue, with particular attention paid to the contributions the Catholic Church has made to the discussion. Depending on the issue, some “Sojourns” may also include an experiential component that really helps to contextualize the conversation.
