Rise Up: A Weekly Call to Solidarity

Start your week by asking: how can we rise up to address injustice? Every Monday morning, voices from the Ignatian network will reflect to explore response to injustice through the lens of Ignatian spirituality and previous Sunday’s daily readings. We seek to understand one another’s stories, to individually and collectively rise up to engage in the work of building a more just and peaceful world.

Just Parenting provides a framework for discussion around the intersections of parenting, faith, and social justice from the perspective of parents touched by the spirituality of St. Ignatius of Loyola through Jesuit schools, parishes, and other organizations.

Jesuit Volunteers Reflect

#JVReflects explores the intersection of faith and justice from the perspective of JESUIT VOLUNTEERS serving as long-term volunteers both domestically and internationally with Jesuit Volunteer Corps and Jesuit Volunteer Corps Northwest. The reflections specifically focus on the cornerstone values of the Jesuit volunteer experience: spirituality, simple living, community, and social justice.
