JustMatters

- Want to Talk? Communication Tools for Divided Times
  Friday Mornings, April 14 to May 26
  
  UPDATE: The class will now begin on April 14.
  
  This JustMatters series will guide you in deepening your relationships while staying true to your values, whether you find yourself navigating a heated disagreement with a spouse, interrupting racism in the office, facilitating political tension in church, or working for systemic change around any justice issue. This program draws upon the wisdom of experts in nonviolent communication, civil dialogue, and grassroots organizing, providing practical tools for navigating the political polarization of our time, as well as tough conversations with our loved ones.
  
  In addition to the seven two-hour sessions, participants will take time to implement the skills they've learned into their real relationships.
  
  When: Friday mornings, April 14, 2023 to May 26, 2023 from 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.
  **If you need to miss couple sessions, that's fine. You can still benefit from the content!**
  
  Where: In-person at the St. Austin Ministry Center (Antioch/Philippi rooms) at 500 W. MLK Blvd.
  
  Cost: A $25 donation is requested to help cover the cost of the program. Please also plan to aquire the following 2 books by the second week of the course: Crucial Conversations: Tools for Talking When Stakes are High, Third Edition and The Compassion Book: Lessons from The Compassion Course
  Scholarships are available to cover the cost of the course and/or books.
  
  The course will be co-facilitated by parishioner Julie Frey, who took the course in the Fall of 2022. Other pariticipants will be asked to rotate co-facilitating with her. It's easy; everything is scripted for you! Preparing to co-facilitate takes about 30 minutes of preparation.

- Faith & Poverty: A Global Response
  
  This class has been POSTPONED indefinitely. Please email Kristen or fill out the interest form if you would like to be on the email list for future offerings of this course or other JustMatters courses.
  
  This small group program invites participants to a new understanding of the dynamics, structures, causes, and consequences of global poverty. Through engagement with Scripture, Catholic social teaching, poetry, and story, participants gain insights into the complexity of this global crisis and the insistent demands for a response rooted in the spirituality of the Scriptures. By encouraging new spiritual practices and informed action, Faith and Poverty: A Global Response aims to cultivate a groundswell of action and advocacy in solidarity with those whose lives are affected by severe poverty across the globe. This module was developed in partnership with Catholic Relief Services (CRS).
  
  This program seeks to:
  
  Provide participants with the Scriptural and Catholic social teaching framework for addressing global poverty
  
  Illuminate issues that have created barriers to addressing global poverty or have directly contributed to it
  
  Inspire solidarity-focused action that is rooted in recognition of the inherent dignity of all human persons
  
  Lay the groundwork for the development of advocacy groups or teams dedicated to the issue of global poverty
