Teaching, including full color flyers, bulletin announcements, and more.
Journey To Justice
Produced by
the Diocese of Oakland and parish leaders in collaboration with the
Catholic Campaign Against Global Poverty, this series has six weeks of
materials to use anytime.
Sharing Resources Together
The Social Justice coordinator invites you
to share resources that you have found helpful in your social justice
education, outreach, and advocacy. Please
call, fax, or email with information on books, periodicals, emergency referral
resources, internet sites, prayer and action resources, programs and
volunteer opportunities. This
is a ministry we share in together, that is enriched and advanced by our prayer and
collaborations.
This newsletter is an important way to share timely updates, parish or
other local events, and resources.
