Is Social Justice an ‘Impossible Dream?’ Thursday December 5, 2019 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM Ann-Louise Nadeau, SNDdeN If Catholic Social Teachings are based on the Gospel mandate to love, why are so many of our sisters and brothers on the margins and on the outside, excluded and ignored by the People of God? What would our Catholic community look like if we were faithful to the principles of Catholic Social Teaching? What concrete steps can you take in your parish, diocese, to more closely become the Beloved Community envisioned by Jesus? Using contemplative listening and dialogue, we will attempt to answer together the above questions. Anne-Louise Nadeau, SNDdeN is a native of Springfield, MA. She earned a B.A. in Sociology/Social Work from Annhurst College and an M.A. in Pastoral Ministry and Counseling from Emmanuel College. As a Sister of Notre Dame de Namur she has worked extensively with young adults and adult learners at Sacred Heart University in Bridgeport, CT while serving in Campus Ministry, Director of the Personal Counseling Center and later as Associate Dean of Students.
