What formative experiences changed how you work for justice? How can you dedicate your interactions to align more with Jesus’ mission?
Shelby Smyth is a graduate of Spring Hill College (2019), where she studied psychology with a minor in theology. In her undergraduate studies, she became involved in social justice and advocacy through the push from faculty and staff at Spring Hill, which led her to the Ignatian Family Teach-In for Justice. Shortly after graduation, she served a year with the Jesuit Volunteer Corps in Syracuse, New York with the Northside CYO, making relationships with refugee families and providing academic support and afterschool programming. Currently, she is a resident minister and graduate assistant for John Carroll University Campus Ministry.

Human beings desire connection and relationship, so sometimes all we need to do to love others well is to be present.
Every person on this Earth is part of the same Earth. We are all on this planet sharing space and walking alongside each other on our individual journeys. We are part of one body. But many of our neighbors are hurting because they are seen as less valuable, and they need healing. How can we help our body heal?
