Social Justice Lenten Series Unites Voices from Jesuit Network & Beyond

BY ISN STAFF | February 25, 2020

During the 2020 Lenten season, the Ignatian Solidarity Network will bring together more than forty contributors from the national Jesuit and broader Catholic network for a Lenten series titled Radical Hope exploring a response to systemic injustice from a Catholic perspective.

Hosted by the Ignatian Solidarity Network, the blog will feature reflections from February 26 (Ash Wednesday) through April 13 (Easter Monday). Uniting individuals engaged in work for immigration advocacy, racial equality, criminal justice reform, alleviation of poverty, and environmental justice, Radical Hope will offer reflections through the lens of daily readings and Ignatian spirituality.

Contributors to the 2020 series include Jesuit priests, religious sisters, students and alumni of Jesuit institutions, community advocates, grassroots organizers, professors, authors, and social ministry leaders.
