Racial Justice Tipping Point Photos from Pace E Bene

We urgently need to address racism in our country, as the daily news so vividly conveys.  For this reason, on Saturday, September 17^th, the Sisters of St. Agnes and other groups in Fond du Lac came together on behalf of racial justice in the state of WI. The Wisconsin Network for Peace and Justice led the day-long workshop at Marian University for 101 persons. Challenging! Eye-opening! Energizing! The workshop lays a foundation for further collaborations on racial justice at the local level. Click here to view photos.

As a local community or as an individual, please take a moment on Sunday to reflect on the grim statistics related to gun violence in American and resolve to create change through the power of music.

Labor Day

A national holiday since 1894, Labor Day offers us an opportunity to celebrate the dignity of work and the rights of workers. May we show compassion for those who do back-breaking and “demeaning” work for little or no payment. May we challenge ourselves to evaluate our personal lifestyles and assess once again the number of slaves working behind the scenes to make those lifestyles possible.
