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.
