Promoting the Common Good in Michigan
A
Statewide Catholic Assembly on Faith and Politics
Many
Catholics in Michigan are engaged in the work of peace and justice. We
are part of the long and rich Catholic Social Tradition. But too
often we feel isolated and marginalized.
We’ve
organized this gathering to hear about the justice work your
organization or parish is doing and discuss how we might work
collaboratively on common good issues. Over 50 social justice
organizations and hundreds of individuals have been invited —so join us!
